Manchester United was tested by a Lewes FC team in the lower division, but that’s the beauty of the FA Cup; anyone has a chance. United had not put Lewes away and was only leading 1-0 after an own goal.
Well, Ona Battle and Vilde Bøe Risa took matters into their own hands. Ona Battle whipped in a great cross, and Risa was ready well before the defenders and goalkeeper could react and fired the header home.
A spot in the semifinals awaits Manchester United thanks to some great play from Battle and Bøe Risa.
4. Valentina Giacinti – AS Roma
It’s a brace for @Giacinti9, it’s 3-0 for @ASRomaEN, it’s a long night ahead for Viola.#WatchWithAta #SerieAFemminile pic.twitter.com/U2YPmMw4Hb
