Ghana's Sumaila outshines compatriot Abambila & Nigeria's Ucheibe as Mallbacken thump Assi

Sherifatu Sumaila outshined Ernestina Abambila and Christy Ucheibe in Mallbackens' 4-1 win over Assi in Sunday's Elitettan game.

Mallbackens were smarting from a 3-0 defeat at Uppsala last week, while Assi were hoping to end the season unbeaten in three matches in a row.

Elsa Hellstrand gave Flip Rinstad's ladies an early lead in the 30th minute of the encounter before Anna Lindgren doubled the advantage three minutes later at Strandvallen.

Sumaila got her name on the scoresheet as she struck to increase the tally for the hosts four minutes before the half time break.

She hit her brace three minutes after the restart to seal Mallbackens' victory despite Erin Craig's consolation for the visitors.
