Imo found the net in the 32nd minute, contributing to a dominant first half that ended 3-0 in favor of Piteå.

The second half saw an additional seven goals, showcasing Piteå’s offensive prowess. Green Maja shone with a hat-trick, while Matilda Asla Johannesen, Ekblom, Emma Viklund, and Astro each added a goal to the tally.

Looking ahead, Piteå will shift their focus to their upcoming league match against Örebro on September 29, 2024.

Imo has been a key player for the team, alongside her compatriot Faith Michael, both of whom have played vital roles in Piteå’s success this season.
