Okobi winner keeps Eskilstuna United's Champions League dream alive

Eskilstuna United kept their qualification bid for the Women's Champions League next season on track after Ngozi Okobi's strike inspired a 1-0 win over Limhamn Bunkeflo on Sunday.

With Goteborg's 2-0 triumph over Kristianstad, Magnus Karlsson's side required a win over their visitors in their pursuit of a European ticket and Okobi was the heroine on the day at Tunavallen.

After a goalless first half, the 25-year-old Okobi scored the winner in the 62nd minute with a brilliant shot past hapless goalkeeper Chandra Bednar to keep her side's Champions League hopes alive.
