Schroder hat-trick fires Häcken to historic Women’s Europa Cup triumph

BK Häcken claimed the first UEFA Women’s Europa Cup after Felicia Schroder delivered a stunning hat‑trick in the second leg of the all‑Swedish final, securing a 3‑2 victory over Hammarby and a 4‑2 aggregate success. Having already scored in last weekend’s first leg in Stockholm, Schroder added three more in Gothenburg to put the tie firmly under Häcken’s control. Coach Elena Sadiku kept faith with the same starting XI, and her side rewarded that trust with two goals inside nine minutes. Schroder struck first with a sharp turn and finish, before adding a second moments later after fine link‑up play from Anna Anvegård.

Hammarby responded through Svea Rehnberg’s header on twenty‑six minutes, sparking their best spell of the match. Fanny Peterson and Elin Sorum both threatened to reduce the deficit further, but Häcken held firm. The visitors reached half‑time still needing two goals, leaving the hosts firmly on course for the historic trophy.
