Read our review of all of the Matildas Abroad action below.
Sweden
A stoppage-time equaliser to BK Häcken’s Alice Bergström meant that third-place Kristianstads DFF and second-place Häcken played out a 2-2 draw over the weekend. Häcken scored first before goals from Tabby Tindell and Emmi Alanen gave Kristianstads the lead. They held on for most of the second half before Bergström made sure that her side would not leave empty-handed.
Clare Polkinghorne started for Kristianstads and played the full match, while Amy Sayer remains unavailable for the side through injury. Aivi Luik was unavailable for Häcken.
United States
San Diego Wave broke Orlando Pride’s record-winning streak, coming from behind to draw 1-1 on Saturday. Orlando’s Julie Doyle scored in the first half before a second-half equaliser for Makenzy Doniak earned the Wave a point.
Emily van Egmond came off the bench for San Diego in the 66th minute while Kaitlyn Torpey was an unused substitute.
Spain
A second-half goal to Paula Comendador Prado meant that Real Madrid defeated Athletic Club 1-0. Athletic Club received four yellow cards as they tried to put a halt to Madrid’s game plan but the weight of shots and possession proved too much in the end as second-place Madrid overpowered their opponents.
After being subbed on in the 59th minute, Hayley Raso had an instant impact. Her shot rebounded off the woodwork to Paula Comendador, who secured the winning goal. Raso's efforts earned her MVP for the match.
Denmark
FC Nordsjælland defeated Kolding IF 2-0 to stay top of the table and to set up a league decider next week. Josefine Funch scored in the first half before a goal to Danish U23 international Anna Walter made sure of the result late in the match.
It means that Nordsjælland goes into the final league game of the season two points clear on top. Next weekend, they will play second-place Brøndby IF. If they win or draw that game, they will be league champions; if Brøndby get the three points, it will be they who pip Nordsjælland at the post.
Winonah Heatley started and played the full match for Nordsjælland and will expect to do the same next week.
