Meanwhile, also in that qualifying group, Amanda Nilden, Hanna Wijk and Matilda Vinberg’s Sweden were held to a goalless draw by Serbia.

Amanda came off the bench late on for her nation, replacing Smilla Holmberg with seven minutes left on the clock, but Hanna and Tilly remained unused substitutes on the afternoon.

There was also success for Eveliina Summanen and Olga Ahtinen in their World Cup qualifiers as Finland enjoyed a 3-1 win over Lativa earlier this afternoon.

Eve started and completed 71 minutes before making way for Vilma Koivisto, while Olga made her return to the starting XI and played the full match at Bolt Arena in Helsinki.

A brace from Ria Oling before Oona Sevenius’ goal, despite Annija Andersone late consolation strike, saw Finland get their first three points in Group Three of League B.

Goalkeeper Lize Kop and the Netherlands earned a 2-1 win at home to the Republic of Ireland to pick up their first victory of the qualifiers.

Our shot stopper started the game for her nation as a brace from Lineth Beerensteyn, despite Katie McCabe netting an equaliser in between her two goals, was enough to secure three points on home soil.

It was a disappointing evening for Signe Gaupset and Julie Blakstad as Norway suffered a heavy 4-0 defeat to Germany in their Group Four of League A fixture.

Our duo, once again, started and completed the full match for their nation on the night, but three first half goals from Germany gave Norway an uphill task before Jule Brand put the game out of reach just before the hour mark.
