Reds finish runners-up at World Sevens

Manchester United Women have had an absolute blast at the inaugural World Sevens tournament, where we finished runners-up following Friday night's final against Bayern Munich.

The Reds won four games out of four to set up a winner-takes-all meeting with Bayern, which our opponents edged 2-1 to become the first champions of the innovative seven-a-side cup in Portugal, contested between eight clubs from some of the best leagues in the world.

United midfielder Simi Awujo, who was later named the competition's Breakout Star following a fine run of performances, put us ahead in the first half of the 30-minute finale, before the recently crowned Frauen-Bundesliga victors turned things around after a short interval through goals from Momoko Tanikawa and Sarah Zadrazil.
