West Ham Women Advance in FA Cup With Extra-Time Victory
LONDON (Interstat) — West Ham United Women defeated Queens Park Rangers FC 2-1 in extra time Sunday in the Women’s FA Cup at London Stadium.
Crysencio Summerville opened the scoring for the hosts in first-half stoppage time. Richard Koné equalized for the visitors in the 65th minute, forcing extra time. Valentín Castellanos scored the decisive goal for West Ham in the 98th minute.
The match was contentious, featuring seven yellow cards. The result defied a pregame projection from Interstat’s simulator, which had favored Queens Park Rangers, though an ELO rating heavily favored West Ham. West Ham advances with a 1-0 record in the competition, while Queens Park Rangers falls to 0-1.
