Ria Oling found the back of Olivia Schough who was standing a bit outside the penalty area.
The 32-year-old took aim and curled the lead goal into the crossbar.

It was a perfect simple pass by Ria and I just hit and the ball ended up where I wanted it to end up, she says in Dazn.
But in the second half, Benfica stepped up.
Already in the 52nd minute came the equaliser, and five minutes later a Rosengård blunder would mean a Portuguese lead.
Emma Jansson was supposed to pass the ball home to the goalkeeper, but she instead offered a free ball to Marie-Yasmine Alidou who rounded the goalkeeper and scored the 2–1 goal.
With about ten minutes left, Mai Kadowaki equalized, which means that Rosengård secured their first point in the group stage.
