In the 0-0 match at Hisingen, where Häcken could have qualified for the quarter-finals of the Champions League if they had won, Jennifer Falk showed no competition match rustiness. Although it was the first of sporting importance in a month for Häcken, she saved four sharp situations for visiting Paris.
– At some point I came out and just made myself big. And then there was a shot in the second half – they got on the edge and I got ready for anything, and then it was just a reflex save, says Jennifer Falk to SVT Sport.
– It felt good, stable, it was a fun match to play. The cooperation with the back line was secure.
How was it playing again?
– I think it was really fun. I have missed it.
Paris goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie also put in an impressive performance. The Nigerian saved Rosa Kafaji’s penalty and sacrificed herself in several situations, leaving the pitch with a clean sheet, a bandaged knee and a bandaged head.
On Tuesday, Häcken’s group will be decided, the yellow and black face already suspended Real Madrid away from home. While the contenders for second place, Paris, face clear group winners Chelsea.
– It will be incredibly exciting. The most important thing for us is to focus on ourselves, and then we will see after the match what place we have in the group, says Falk.
