Turbine Potsdam attack impressed a lot in the first half with a good pace and well thought and executed passes with mostly just one or two touches. Djurgården/Älvsjö showed themselves vulnerable on the wings, where their defenders often got turned by Potsdam's Mittag and Wimbersky (Djurgården substituted both their wingbacks at halftime). Their proposed 4-3-3 soon (as so often happens with 4-3-3 tactics) soon looked more like 4-5-1 with Victoria Svensson alone at top, which is not her best position. At halftime they changed to a more conservative 4-4-2 which stabilized their defense, but didn't help much in the attack. The kind of scoring chances that they managed to create in the Stockholm leg of the final didn't show this time.

All in all a really great performance by Turbine Potsdam while Djurgården/Älvsjö disappointed both themselves and their fans, just as they have in the Damallsvenskan, where they will spend the break on a modest 6th place.
