Her goal in the 72nd minute sealed the win, helping Fortuna Hjorring maintain their momentum in the title race.

The match began with Florentina Olar-Sparnu breaking the deadlock in the seventh minute, marking the only goal of the first half.

Omewa, a former Confluence Queens player, displayed her skill and determination, playing the full 90 minutes before being substituted for Pedersen Pernille.
