Both teams advanced from their groups in the lucrative seven-a-side event in Estoril and it was United who set up a final against Bayern Munich later on Friday thanks to goals from Melvine Malard and Gabby George.

United kept up the pressure at the start of the second period of 15 minutes and Clinton hit the bar before George made sure of the victory with a near-post finish. Earlier, Bayern swept to a 5-0 victory over Paris St Germain, with Momoko Tanikawa scoring twice and Sarah Zadrazil, Maria Plattner and Jovana Damnjanovic once each.
