Photograph: Ryan Byrne/InphoKerri Letmon bagged a crucial extra-time goal as Ireland’s Peamount United beat Dinamo Minsk in the Uefa Women’s Champions League qualifying tournament in Croatia on Wednesday.
Inseparable from their Belarusian counterparts at the end of 90 minutes after an initial opener from Peas striker Ellen Dolan was cancelled out by Anna Sas, Letmon produced the goods in the additional periods to give the reigning SSE Airtricity Women’s Premier Division champions the spoils. After heading wide of the target from an earlier cross by Jess Fitzgerald, Dolan found the bottom corner of the Dinamo net via an assist by Niamh Farrelly on seven minutes.
Dinamo boss Yuri Maleev made a triple substitution when the play resumed, while O’Callaghan also added Letmon to the mix shortly after the resumption and she was later joined by fellow substitutes Michelle Doonan and Ciara Maher.
