Linköping with Vera Dyatel in the squad, have won 2015 Swedish Cup – “Svenska Cupen” with 2:0 victory over reigning Swedish champions FC Rosengård.
The performance of the Ukrainian international was key to the Linköping’s success as the midfielder scored the second goal that wrapped up the result in the second half of the match.
This is the first tittle since Vera joined the Swedish club and curiously it follows another LTA’s player Cup success as Hedvig Lindahl won the English FA Women’s Cup last week also in her first season with Chelsea FC.
Chelsea Ladies FC with Hedvig Lindahl in goal, won the 2015 FA Women’s Cup for the first time in their history.
In the final Chelsea faced Notts County in front of over 30,000 supporters at Wembley Stadium. Chelsea won scoring the only goal in 37th minute. The Blues were dominant the whole match: after scoring the first goal they had several chances to increase their lead, but at the end the one goal was enough.
Sweden’s number 1, Hedvig joined Chelsea earlier this year and quickly became the first choice and a reliable presence in goal. She has kept 6 clean sheets in 11 matches she has played so far, and has been a key part of Chelsea’s first ever trophy win on the women’s side.
Cameroon, Netherlands, and Sweden have made it to the round of 16 of the 2015 FIFA Women’s World Cup in Canada.
Cameroon finished second in their group with 2 wins out of 3 matches including an impressive 2:1 come-from-behind victory over Switzerland with Aboudi Onguene named Player of the Match and a 6-0 rout of Ecuador (3 goals from Gaelle Enganamouit plus a goal and an assist from Aboudi Onguene). Cameroon will face China on 20th of June.
Netherlands have finished third in their group and advanced to the knock-out round as one of the best four third-place teams. Netherlands with Petra Hogewoning will face defending World Champions Japan on 23rd of June.
Sweden including Caroline Seger, Hedvig Lindahl, Linda Sembrant, Emma Berglund, Olivia Schough, and Malin Diaz also advanced as one of the four best third-place teams. The European powerhouse road to the round of 16 was rough with 3 drawn group matches, and they will now face two-time World Champions and reigning European Champions Germany on June 20th.

Swedish Champion, US W-League Champion and Spanish Cup Winner are some of the achievements of Verónica Boquete Giadáns over the years. Now she will add UEFA Women’s Champions League winner medal to her titles, one of the most prestigious trophies in women’s football.
This year as a member of FFC Frankfurt, she played key role in the midfield line. Vero has shown consistency and was instant choice in starting eleven the whole season. On their road to the final match against Paris Saint-Germain, FFC Frankfurt haven’t lost a single match in the Champions League. They increased their individual performances and the synergy of the whole team every match during the season.
Vero played with injured foot the entire final match like a true warrior. In the match that ended in dramatic fashion, Frankfurt opened the scoring in the first half before PSG leveled at 1-1 eight minutes later. The result stayed the same almost until the end of the match, with Frankfurt managing to get the winner in the added time to win 2:1. After the match Veronica shared a few words.
“It means the world to me. I’ve been fighting so long to win this trophy, and after last year, which ended in tears, this was more special. And it means that I made the right decision coming to Frankfurt. And it also means that you always have to come back and keep trying and dreaming big. I think the team felt strong, and we saw during the game that they were no better than us, and we felt that in some moments we could hurt them. So we just waited for our moment, and thank God, or thank I don’t know who, the goal came in the last minute. It is always more special to score a late winner, because there is so much tension. Everyone is waiting a bit for extra time, and I think that the team believed we would finish it in the 90 minutes. So it’s also special for me, because always in the big games that I am in, something happens in the last minute – that made me believe until the end.”
