A quick summary of the first leg of the UEFA playoffs on SAT 25 OCT 2014.

• Italy 02-01 Ukraine: Valentina CERNOIA scored just half a minute in, but the visitors equalised with a header by Daryna APANASCHENKO. In first half stoppage time, Melania GABBIADINI found the goal that would restore the Azzurre’s slim advantage.
• Scotland 01-02 Netherlands: The Oranje look to have the inside track to a first qualification after their win in Tynecastle. Lieke MARTENS and Manon MELIS had first half goals, but a penalty by Kim LITTLE kept Scotland in the tie.
