Nigeria international Rita Chikwelu scored her first goal for Kristianstad as Kvarnsveden defeated them 6-5 on penalties in a Sweden Women Cup game on Saturday.
The Super Falcons midfielder, who signed for the Swedish's Damallsvenskan club in January, netted in the 44th minute to cancel out Malawian Tabita Chawinga's opener for Jonas Björkgren's ladies at the Ljungbergsplanen Stadium.
