Ritah Kivumbi: Uganda striker inspires Hammarby to victory at Sunnana

Ritah Kivumbi increased her goal tally for the season in Hammarby’s 2-1 triumph over Sunnana in a Swedish Elittetan encounter on Sunday.

The Ugandan striker was handed her 11th league start this season and she did not disappoint as her impressive form in front of goal earned her Swedish outfit their 13th win of the campaign.

Having won their last three games, Hammarby were keen to build on the momentum and Kivumbi was in the right place to open the scoring against their struggling hosts after just 11 minutes.

The visitors did not relent as they moved on to guarantee their lead with the second from Emmie Johansson a minute later before Sarah Micheal came close to scoring four minutes from half-time.
