Ebere Orji assists, Uchenna Kanu scores as Linkopings bow at Umea

Linkopings lost 3-2 at Umea in Friday’s Sweden Damallsvenskan outing with Nigeria international Ebere Orji assisting compatriot Uchenna Kanu to find the net at Umea Energi Arena.

Olof Unogard's ladies enjoyed an impressive start to the campaign this season, with no defeat in five opening matches, but they surrendered a two-goal lead to suffer their first loss this term.

Eva Nystrom's own goal gifted the visitors the lead after just four minutes. Seven minutes later, Kanu, who opened her Damallsvenskan account with the winner against Djurgardens, came close to levelling the score but her effort went wide.
