"The first clear-cut chance of the opening half came from Ella Toone after 23 minutes, but her well-struck effort from Jess Park's lay-off was saved well by Selma Panengstuen. Toone went close to a breakthrough twice more before the break, with her header on the half-hour mark flying over the bar before Panengstuen tipped another effort from the England midfielder over the goal five minutes later."
"Panengstuen was called into action again 13 minutes into the second half to deny Dominique Janssen, and United were made to pay for the missed chances. Following a foul by Lisa Naalsund, Signe Gaupset curled in a brilliant cross from the resulting free-kick and Stenevik made no mistake with her header from close range. Panengstuen's work still was not done as she denied Toone again, making a brilliant double save to stop the midfielder from finding the far corner with her strike"
