Ghana's Sherifatu Sumaila scores first goal of the season as Mallbacken defeat Kvarnsvedens

Sherifatu Sumaila scored her first Swedish Elitettan goal of the season in Mallbacken' 3-0 win over Kvarnsvedens on Thursday.

The Ghanaian international was making her fifth appearance for Mallbacken since joining from top-flight outfit Djurgarden this season.

Sussanne Skalberg fired the hosts, who were smarting from a 2-1 defeat at Asarum, into the lead 19 minutes into the encounter last Sunday.

In the second half, the Ghanaian doubled the lead for Filip Rinstad's side on the hour mark before Emma Sahlstrom scored six minutes from full-time to seal the victory.

Sumaila, who made her fourth start of the season, played for the duration of the match for Mallbacken.
