Rosenborg Women

Match report

Rosenborg women returned to face Sisters Odessa on Wednesday and made no mistakes this time, winning 3:0 in the UEFA Women's Champions League 1st Qualifying Round semi-final. The hosts had lost 1:0 to the Ukrainian side on 26 August and this was a different performance entirely. They took control from the first whistle and never let the visitors back into the tie.

Joshualyn Reeves opened the scoring in the 48th minute, catching Sisters off guard just after half-time. Matilde Rogde had been off the pitch by then, substituted in the 46th minute, and the change seemed to shift the tempo. Reeves saw her effort nestle in the net and Rosenborg were ahead.

The second goal came from the same player in the 77th minute. Sisters had tried to hold on but their shape was stretched thin, and Reeves punished them again. Celine Emilie Nergård added a third in the 86th minute to ensure the result was never in doubt. The visitors were reduced to defending for long spells and eventually ran out of ideas.

By then the statistics told the full story. Rosenborg held 75 per cent possession and won 13 corners to Sisters' solitary one. They registered 13 shots on target and only 2 for the visitors. Three goals from 13 shots on target is efficiency, and Sisters managed just two on target all evening. To be fair, the hosts had been disciplined too, showing two yellow cards against one for the visitors.

The final scoreline of 3:0 means Rosenborg advance through this qualifying round with momentum. They had lost the previous meeting and now turned the tie on its head. The goal difference of three goals separates them from the setback they suffered in August, and they are through to the next stage.
