Zigiotti Olme own goal as Manchester United lose Super League opener to London City Lionesses

Julia Zigiotti Olme scored in the Super League opener. But in the wrong goal. Manchester United lost 1-2 to London City Lionesses.

Already in the ninth minute, Zigiotti Olme scored the goal when she headed the ball into her own net from a corner kick, under heavy pressure from an opponent.

After that, it was uphill for United. The London team, with Rosa Kafaji in the starting line-up, made it 2-0 in the 82nd minute.

United scored a consolation goal in the 10th minute of added time.

Monica Jusu Bah, who left Häcken for Manchester United a week ago, came on in the 62nd minute. She replaced Anna Sandberg. Hanna Lundkvist also came on late in the game.

Fridolina Rolfö was not even in United's squad, for unclear reasons.
