Omewa also had a hand in her team’s second goal by setting up Anastasia Pobegaylo in the 16th minute.

Four minutes into the second half, Tiia Peltonen reduced the deficit for KoldingQ as she put the ball into her net.

Joy scored her second goal of the match 64th minute before Signe Christensen made it 4-1 in the 89th minute.
