Cameroon striker Takounda grabs assist in Djurgardens loss

Alexandra Takounda contributed an assist despite Djurgardens suffering a 2-1 defeat to Kristianstads in Saturday's Swedish Damallsvenskan game at Kristianstads Football Arena.

The Cameroonian had joined the Swedish outfit two weeks ago and came off the bench to make a cameo debut in Djurgardens' 1-0 victory over Orebro at the Stockholms Stadium last week.

The 20-year-old striker was handed her first start of the season against Kristianstads but her fine contribution was not enough to help Pierre Fondin's team avoid their first defeat of the season.

Following a winning start over Orebro, Fondin's ladies were aiming to consolidate against their hosts and Nellie Lilja gave the hosts the lead eight minutes from half time off Takounda's assist.
