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.

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.
