Article body
Two-time UEFA Women's Cup winners Umeå IK booked themselves an all-Scandinavian semi-final meeting with Kolbotn IL after Lise Klavesness scored a hat-trick in a 5-2 win against Saestum which completed a comprehensive 11-3 aggregate victory.
Warning signal
The Swedish outfit, already 6-1 ahead after the first leg of this quarter-final tie in the Netherlands last week, scored a further five goals in front of their home fans to send a warning to the Norwegian champions ahead of what should be a titanic showdown - especially as many of the players who featured in Norway's epic 2005 UEFA European Women's Championship semi-final success against Sweden will be on show.
Moström opener
Midfield dynamo Malin Moström scored in the 12th and 23rd minutes, with Norwegian international Klaveness finding the net in between. She added to that 21st-minute goal with further strikes in the 46th and 76th minutes, while Lisanne Vermeulen twice found the net for the visitors. Umeå now meet Kolbotn over two legs for a place in next April's final, with the conquerors of the holders 1. FFC Frankfurt at home in the first leg.
