Mariona Caldentey played a clever ball to Kim Little, who set up Russo for a simple finish. Everton responded ten minutes later. Toni Payne capitalized on a defensive error to level the score.

In the second half, Renée Slegers made key substitutions. She brought on Blackstenius, Foord, Mead, and Cooney-Cross to inject fresh energy. Their impact was immediate.

Emily Fox delivered a dangerous cross that Maren Mjelde deflected into her own net. Russo sealed the win in the 89th minute, rounding the keeper after a precise pass from Mead.
