Lotta Lindström added two appearances, including her first start, to her tally with Finland.


The 19-year-old featured as a second-half substitute in the Boreal Owls' 1-1 draw with Norway, before earning a place in the starting eleven as Italy swept the Finns aside in Druso.


Kosovare Asllani was an unused substitute in Sweden's opening fixture (a 2-1 loss to France), but captained the side to a 0-0 draw against England to close out their EURO Qualifying campaign.


Ruesha Littlejohn started both of the Republic of Ireland's fixtures, helping the Girls in Green secure a historic 3-1 win over France.


Megan Campbell was a second-half substitute in Ireland's 2-1 loss to England, providing a secondary assist on Julie-Ann Russell's 90th minute strike.
