The upset of the week? Not to AIK coach Christer Söderberg: "I know we have the capacity to play even against the mid-table teams. This is just the first time it worked all the way." Göteborg's coach Martin Pringle admitted AIK was the better side today. From the reports it seems like AIK won the game in the midfield, much thanks to Yolanda Odenyo. Jessica Juhlin did not start for Göteborg, it appears all papers aren't filed yet.

Attendance: 667
Comfortable win for Linköping, where they, unlike a couple of games earlier this spring, did a better second half than first. Linköping seemed really hungry, especially Maria Karlsson who went to England, but didn't get any playing-time there. Midfilder Anna-Kaisa Rantanen filled in in the defense and did it good. Caroline Seger had to leave after 70 minutes with a shoulder injury. No word on how serious yet, so probably not very.

QBIK - Malmö FF  0-2 (0-2)
QBIK:
Malmö FF: Caroline Jönsson - Malin Andersson, Denise Reddy, Therese Jönsson, Jenny Engwall - Therese Sjögran, Nilla Fischer, Asthildur Helgadóttir, Emma Stålhammar - Mia Westerblad (55 Linda Blom), Therese Lundin
Goals: 0-1 Emma Stålhammar (34), 0-2 Therese Lundin (44)
Attendance: 769
A less impressive Malmö than earlier this season still managed to take home three points. "Both Malmö goals came on counters", said QBIK coach Dave Mosson, who thought they did a good match against one of the best sides in the league, particulary in defense. Jennifer Meier made her debut for QBIK and seems to be able to better the teams attack a lot.

Sunnanå SK - Hammarby IF  1-0 (1-0)
Sunnanå: Åsa Berglund - Sandra Berggren, Hanna Marklund, Rebecca Smith, Magdalena Esseryd - Mirjam Marklund, Carolina Marklund, Bianca Rech, Anna Bodén - Lina Johansson (Carina Holmberg 71), Madelaine Edlund (Anna Boman 87)

Goals: 1-0 Hanna Marklund (36)

Sunnanå dominate the match completely and should have won bigger. The only goal was a header by Hanna Marklund after a corner kick. The two new players from the german Bundesliga Rebecca Smith (centre defense together with Hanna Marklund) and Bianca Rech (midfield) distinguish themselves and Hammarby coach En Perlskog said he's never seen Sunnanå that good.

The Sunnanå match started with a silent minute in honour of the local paper Norra Västerbotten's sports editor Thomas Hedlund (you might remember him from the airport interview with Tiffeny Milbrett), who passed away just a couple of days ago. He's made sure the news coverage of women's football in his area has been of very high quality and I too would like to pay my respect.

Umeå IK - KIF Örebro  4-1 (3-0)
Umeå: Sofia Lundgren - Maria Bergqvist, Anna Paulson, Sanna Valkonen, Karolina Westberg - Anne Mäkinen (70 Kristina Wiklund), Malin Moström, Elaine (75 Johanna Andersson) - Marta (60 Maria Nordbrant), Hanna Ljungberg, Anna Sjöström

Attendance: 2133
Just like Linköping, Umeå seemed really hungry to get playing again. KIF Örebro, that now without Lilly, Markgraf and Monroe almost seemed like a U21 side, and never threatened the home team. With Frida Östberg on yellow card suspension Karolina Westberg got to play her full 90 minutes for the first time (I think) this season. Hanna Ljungberg, back from rehab, also played the whole match. Pia Sundhage commented that KIF got a valuable lesson in football and were satisfied with their second half of the match, where they managed to hold Umeå to 1-1.
