QBIK

QBIK suffered a possibly fatal defeat in the important relegation match against AIK. AIK's goal was a shot that first hit the cross-bar, then the ground and then bounced out into play. QBIK's hot tempered coach Dave Mosson was shown to the stands when he critizised the ruling.

Djurgpården/Älvsjö's Benny Persson said his team slowed down the play when they were 3 goals up to save strength for the next game. He had a thin squad already getting into the match - Laura Kalmari and Jane Törnqvist didn't play against KIF Örebro, recovering from minor injuries. Then Linda Fagerström had to leave the match early with a sprained foot. He is not sure who will be back for the next match, which is against QBIK already on tuesday.

"We never got our game working, but we won and that's what's important", said goalscorer Sara Larsson after Linköping's match against Själevad. Själevad followed "to 99 %" coach Yngve Persson's tactical scheme - let's call it a variation of the "everyone behind the ball"-tactics - and it could have been a success if Therese Kapstad's late minutes shot had hit goal instead of the crossbar. Now all that remained of a good effort was an honorable defeat.

"We had a really bad first half", said Sunnanå's coach Kega Israelsson. Another explanation, suggested by his local paper, was that Malmö had a really good one. Good movement, one-touch passes and great players on all parts of the field. "This was probably the best attacking game we have played this year", said Malmö's coach Anders Johansson. But Sunnanå came out to the second half determined not to get out-played and managed to score on two set pieces. "It became a bit nervous towards the end", commented Johansson. In Kega Israelsson's opinion Malmö FF is the best team in Damallsvenskan, even if Umeå has better individual players, but Malmö still refuses to be talked into any championship speculations.

Mallbacken's new signing Lindsay Greco seems to be what the doctor ordered. Two matches, two goals and a much improved attack from Mallbacken. Erla Arnardóttir, who earlier this season explained Mallbacken's lack of success with being more afraid to lose than eager to win, now was pleased to say that they are not afraid any longer. "We've moved players a bit in the team since Lindsay arrived and now we are creating a lot more".

"It didn't work out in the last third of the field", Umeå coach André Jeglertz tries to explain the narrow win against Kopparbergs/Göteborg. "We are using to many touches on the ball and doesn't get any flow in the attacks". Kopparbergs/Göteborg's Martin Pringle was satisfied that they pressured Umeå without having to change their short passing oriented game and was even a bit disappointed that they couldn't go home with at least one point.

Mallbacken's third straight victory moves them out of the immideate relegation struggle. An injury-ridden Hammarby (Jennie Jonsson and Christina Forsell didn't show) couldn't keep up with Mallbacken, that seems to have improved their creativity in the attack since Lindsay Greco arrived.

Attendance: 1,887
After three scoreless league matches Kopparbergs/Göteborg maganed to find the goal again and for quite some time looked like they might even upset Umeå. Marta scored the first very early in the match from a corner-kick by Anne Mäkinen but the expected blow-out - it usually what happens when Umeå starts scoring early - didn't take place. Göteborg got their game working and Kackur's equalizer was no fluke. But Umeå created several scoring opportunities and Malin Moström's 2-1 goal gave a narrow but clear victory.

Goals: 1-0 Anna Lundin (15)
Attendance: 233
Anna Lundin scored on a spectacular header from a corner-kick by Hodan Siid-Ahmed, one of the few really dangerous scoring opportunities in a match that was characterized by long balls and failed attacks. The result still put some more distance between AIK and the relegation line.

Djurgården/Älvsjö:

Goals: 1-0 Sara Thunebro (19), 2-0 Kicki Bengtsson (38 PK), 3-0 Sara Johansson (53)
Attendance: 149
In thunder and rain and in front of the smallest Damallsvenskan crowd this season Djurgården still had a good match and their attack, with the two Saras Thunebro and Johansson setting up each other, seems to work again. Örebro, that had to start without their major attacking force Lisa Dahlkvist (suspended after three accumulated yellow cards), got Emma Hebring shown off the field after bringing down a free Victoria Svensson and had to play with only 10 for almost 60 minutes.

Goals: 1-0 Sara Larsson (74)
Attendance: 528
Själevad played their usual tight defense, clearly aiming on getting one point from the game, and managed to keep Linköping's potentially fast and dangerous attack harmless most of the match. Sara Larsson finally scored the winner by heading in the ball from a corner-kick.

Sunnanå SK  - Malmö FF  2-3 (0-3)
Sunnanå: Åsa Berglund - Sandra Berggren, Hanna Marklund, Rebecca Smith, Maggie Esseryd - Bianca Rech, Carina Holmberg, Carolina Marklund, Mirjam Marklund (76 Lina Johansson)- Madelaine Edlund, Tiffeny Milbrett (83 Anna Boman).
Malmö: Caroline Jönsson - Malin Andersson, Denise Reddy, Therese Jönsson, Jenny Engwall - Formiga, Nilla Fischer, Therese Sjögran, Frida Nordin (Emma Stålhammar) - Asthildur Helgadottir (Mia Westerblad), Therese Lundin (Linda Blom)

Attendance: 731
Malmö impressed in the first half with great midfield play and Therese Sjögran both setting up and scoring goals. But Sunnanå is a tenacious team that doesn't give up easily. They scored two goals in the second half from free-kicks and Bianca Rech, their best player in the match, had a couple of close chances to equalize. Tiffeny Milbrett was clearly affected by her transatlantic travel, she arrived only yesterday, and didn't pose the kind of threat that Malmö was anticipating but still assisted one of Sunnanå's goals.

Seven Damallsvenskan teams played in today's five Swedish cup matches. Malmö FF and Kopparbergs/Göteborg had real blow-outs against their lower division competition while Hammarby had to go into extra-time. Malmö defeated Vittsjö GoIK away with 9-0, 7 goals by Mia Westerblad and one by Linda Blom (the last was an own goal) in front of a Vittsjö record attendance of 679 in spite of the pouring rain. Malmö's starters: Jenny Olsson - Malin Andersson, Denise Reddy, Therese Jönsson, Jenny Engwall - Anna Mörstam, Nilla Fischer (46 Therese Lundin), Therese Sjögran (46 Formiga), Frida Nordin (Corinne Briers) - Mia Westerblad, Linda Blom.

Kopparbergs/Göteborg finally got their scoring working after 3 goalless games. 12-1 at IF Böljan, 5 goals by Heidi Kackur, 4 by Rebecka Ljungdahl and onr each from Jenny Svensson, Lotta Schelin and Frida Thydén. Hammarby had more problems with 1st division side Östervåla IF and was forced to go into extra-time. Östervåla took the lead in the 21st minute. In the second half Hammarby got Tanja Meidal red-carded, but still managed to equalize and score the winner on a penalty-kick on extra-time. Both goals by Karolina Rinman.

In Örebro AIK played KIF Örebro to another extra-time decision. AIK took the lead with an early 9th minute goal by Lena Persson. Louise Östman equalised for Örebro with 10 minutes left of regulation time. Hodan Siid-Ahmed got AIK ahead again after only 3 minutes extra-time, but then Örebro managed to score three times in 15 minutes; at 100' by Camilla Ulander-Nilsson, at 111' by Marie Hammarströmm and finally Louise Östman got her second goal, making it 4-2 at 115'. In the last game Umeå defeated Sunnanå at home 3-0 with goals by Frida Östberg, Malin Moström and Maria Nordbrandt.

There will be 7 damallsvenskan sides in the quarterfinals; QBIK, Djurgården/Älvsjö, Kopparbergs/Göteborg, KIF Örebro, Umeå IK, Malmö FF and Hammarby. The only lower division team to advance was Härnösands SK. The pairings for the quarterfinels will be drawn August 11.

Djurgården are having problems with their squad after a couple of players has left the team and could only bring 2 substitutes for the game. Still that wasn't their main problem. Linda Fegerström had a great match, scoring and creating lots of opportunities but the rest of the team didn't meet expectations. AIK put up a great team effort and showed that determination can beat class, and in the second half Nazanin Vaseghpanah could equalize after a nice solo performance. "I'm proud of each and every player" said AIK's coach Christer Söderberg.

Attendance: 753
Linköping had a better performance than in the home match last week and created much more in the forward play, but Malmö's experience made the difference. Caroline Seger had to leave the field with a thigh injury , which made Malmö's dominance in the midfield even stronger. Linköping's goal came from a nice combination involving three players ending with Rantanen scoring from a rebound. Ten minutes later Malmö scored twice over three minutes tio equalize and take the lead. The 2-1 goal was on a direct corner kick from Malin Andersson.

Örebro continues to create lots of scoring opportunities but has great problems converting them. This time they had six clear chances only in the first half. But Hammarby began to get the upper hand in the second and with a shot from distance by Marijke Callebaut, who just transfered from Djurgården, and a nice dribble by Salina Olsson they managed to get their first win ever in Örebro.

Kopparbergs/Göteborg continues to play nice football and had most of posession, but was for the third game in a row unable to score. Instead Mallbacken, who spent large parts of the match playing bunker defense, scored on a fast counter where Lindsay Greco, who played her first match for Mallbacken, recieved a long pass from Erla Arnardóttir, turned her defender and scored.

In a match with more hard work than entertainment from both sides, Sunnanå showed the difference between the experienced team on third place and the newcomers in the relegation zone. Sunnanå has a great defense with Hanna Marklund and Rebecca Smith and QBIK never managed to create any real opportunities. Hanna got a strained foot in the first half, but continued to play with the foot taped.

Linköping FC defeated 4th division side Åtvidabergs FF 18-2 in the semifinal in the regional ÖEB Cup. But the Åtvidaberg players (average age 17!) were thrilled to play the Damallsvenskan side and the 648 in the stands at their home arena was probably the biggest crowd they've ever played before. Linköping commented that even if the number tend to get high it is important to show up with the first team when you're playing a team and before a crowd that don't get to see premier league teams otherwise.

Linköping's goals were scored by Ann Westermark (6), Josefine Öqvist (5), Anna-Kaisa Rantanen (3), Sara Larsson (2), Caroline Seger and Maria Lindström.

Edit: I just found out that Hanna Olsson is going to Northeastern University to play with the Huskies. I think that's a pretty good team.

Kopparbergs/Göteborg's midfielder Therese Bjurenlind goes on loan to 1st division side Jitex.

With Bohlin's leaving, Malin Nykvist's time-out and Marijke Callebaut's transfer to Hammarby, there are now only 17 players left on Djurgården/Älvsjö's squad. They really ought to find reinforcements before they go into the UEFA Women's Cup qualifacations in September.

The news on Bohlin was found in Dagens Nyheter's article on Jane Törnqvist and Turbine Potsdam, Hanna Olsson was mentioned in a Hammarby match report and Bjurenlind at Kopparbergs/Göteborg fan site Kopps.

Djurgården/Älvsjö:
Attendance: 553
The Göteborg-Djurgården match is left from the 6th round and was originally planned to be played late May, but got postponed since it collided with Djurgården's UEFA Women's Cup finals.

In the first half most of the play was in the midfield without many scoring opportunities for either team. In the second Djurgården/Älvsjö showed a much more intense and high paced game and pressured the home side a lot. They didn't have any real edge in the finishes though and both sides left the match scoreless. Göteborg's Martin Pringle is still struggling with the team's appearent inability to score and benched their finish star forward Heidi Kackur to try out another constellation in the attack, but with no result. Pringle was still satisfied with the point and thought they showed good teamwork. Djurgården's Mikael Söderman said they didn't manage to control the match - when they do they also score a lot as in the match against AIK.

Local daily Göteborgsposten writes that Kopparbergs/Göteborg managed to play constructive and entertaining football, but in the midfield were pressured back in the second half and the forwards had to find their opportunities pretty much onm their own.

The questionable penalty that decided the match between Linköping and Malmö was the big discussion matter the day after, but Linköping's Michael Bornehav admitted that Malmö's win still was a fair outcome of the match. "We showed our lack of experience while Malmö were more sensible and controled." Caroline Seger agreed: "We hardly created anything forward and almost panicked, shooting a lot of long balls." Malmö's Therese Sjögran was outstanding in the midfield and Malin Andersson was a constant danger forward, both on set pieces and with opening passes, while Malmö's defense at the same time seemed impenetrable. But no, Malmö still refuses to discuss the possibility of winning the championship.

Mallbacken and Göteborg both agreed that Mallbacken's goalkeeper Carola Söborg did a great match. Göteborg had, particulary in the second half, a huge advantage in possession and shots on goal. But that really doesn't help if you don't get past the goalkeeper. Mallbacken's coach Glenn Johansson voiced his disappointment that Söborg, who has a lot of U19 and U21 matches, never has been called up to the national team. Erla Arnardóttir explained that her goal from 30 meters wasn't just a fluke. She regulary stays behind after training sessions to practise shots and this was actually her second goal from afar this season.

Sunnanå's Bianca Rech dominated the midfield and also contributed with the assist to Carina Holmbergs 1-0 goal. But in the second half she began to disappear, surely partly an effect of the tough schedule she had in the Nordic Tournament, and QBIK took over. It was only defenders Smith and Marklund that managed to keep QBIK away from the goal. QBIK's coach Mosson said his team played very good and at least in the second half dominated against the league's number 3. And Sunnanå's Isaksson stressed that he was lucky to get away with the win and have to play much better next weekend at QBIK.

"We can count ourselves lucky that we've got [goalkeeper] Kristin Hammarström", a relieved Pia Sundhage said after KIF Örebro's 0-0 draw with Hammarby. Hammarström had a couple of really qualified saves and the defense, U21 player Stina Segerström worth mentioning, kept Hammarby's Salina Olsson away. But KIF has big problems in front. "We have a nice flow to our play, but it never gets really hot", Sundhage complains.
