Sarah Micheal: Nigeria striker inspires Mallbackens comeback at Sandvikens

Sarah Micheal put up a fantastic display as her goal inspired Mallbackens comeback 2-1 victory over Sandvikens in Saturday's league encounter.

The former Nigeria striker grabbed her fifth of the season, with a late equaliser in Mallbackens' 2-2 draw against Kalmar over a month ago.

Having earned her 11th start of the season, the 30-year-old was hoping to end her five-match drought and lead her side back to winning ways after back-to-back defeats to Lidkoping and AIK.

Despite creating several chances, Conny Johansson's side started Saturday’s encounter on the back foot after Jessica Backman's strike handed the hosts the lead seconds from the half-time break.
