Stina Lykke Petersen (born 9 February 1986) is a Danish football goalkeeper who plays for Swedish Damallsvenskan club Kristianstads DFF and the Denmark women's national football team.

Club career

Lykke Petersen began playing football aged five in her hometown Højby.[1] In 2007 she attended Rollins College in Florida and played NCAA college soccer.[2]

Following a successful UEFA Women's Euro 2013 tournament with Denmark, Lykke Petersen secured a transfer from Brøndby to FCR 2001 Duisburg. She had compiled three Elitedivisionen titles and four Danish Women's Cups in her time with Brøndby.[3] In 2016 Lykke Petersen transferred to Kristianstads DFF, after playing in Odense's first three matches of the Danish season.[4]

International career

She was called into the Denmark squad for UEFA Women's Euro 2005 as an uncapped player.[5]

After a knee injury to regular goalkeeper Heidi Johansen, Lykke Petersen was elevated to first choice for UEFA Women's Euro 2013.[6] In Denmark's opening group match against hosts Sweden she saved two second half penalty kicks from Lotta Schelin and Kosovare Asllani, respectively, to secure a 1–1 draw.[7]

Denmark progressed to the quarter-finals on the drawing of lots, where they shocked France in a penalty shoot-out after a 1–1 draw. Lykke Petersen stopped Louisa Nécib's kick in the shoot-out, after narrowly failing to keep out the same player's penalty goal during the match.[8] Denmark's run came to an end in the semi-final when they lost another penalty shoot-out to Norway.
