Olsson and Kapocs fire Liverpool to Merseyside derby win over Everton

There was Swedish dominance in the Merseyside derby between Liverpool and Everton in the Super League. Beata Olsson and Cornelia Kapocs both scored in the 2-0 victory.

Beata Olsson left Kristianstad in the Swedish Women's League last year to play for Liverpool. The 25-year-old striker had a successful first season in England and scored six goals in the Super League.

Olsson has had a goal drought at the start of this season. But in the derby at home against Everton, she headed in the opener from a corner in the fourth minute. In the end, Swedish winger Cornelia Kapocs, who has played for Liverpool since 2024, made the final score 2-0, which was the 26-year-old's second league goal of the season.

On Tuesday, Sweden's national team coach Tony Gustavsson will name the squad for the World Cup playoff matches against Lithuania in October.
