Union's debutant, leela Egli, scored with her third touch; the first two had come as she controlled the ball and moved it on to stab home for the opener on a gorgeous day in Oranienburg in front of over 500 fans.

There were many more highlights - Lia Kamber's shot from range and Nele Bauereisen's towering header among them - but the shine was taken a little off after Hannah Eurlings forced substitution, just moments after she had scored her own superb goal.

But the win was deserved, and Marie-Louise Eta's side looked flexible, fluid and dangerous in her first game in charge.
