Faith Michael scores as Chikwelu's Kristianstad hold Pitea

Faith Michael scored a goal for Pitea as Rita Chikwelu's Kristianstad held the league champions to a 1-1 draw in a Swedish Damallsvenskan match on Sunday.

The Swedish champions had crashed out of the Women's Champions League Round of 32 following a 2-1 loss to Brondby last Wednesday and were hoping to bounce back in Kristianstad.

The Nigeria international scored her second goal of the season in the 29th minute to give the visitors the first-half lead at Vilans IP but Pitea's hope of returning to winning ways was dashed when Amanda Edgren struck nine minutes from time for Kristianstad.
