Qbik - Sunnanå 1 - 3 (0-1)

Sunnanå were both tougher and quicker and never really threatened after their first goal. Qbik has considerably individual talent, like defender Jenny Hallstenson and forward  Anja Mittag, but they were having big problems playing as a team. Sunnanå took an important step away from the relegation zone, where it looks like Qbik will be fighting Jitex and Mallbacken for the last remaining spot above the line.

Umeå played better than against Bälinge last week, had more movement and creativity in the attack and also scored a couple of really good-looking goals. Hanna Ljungberg's two goals and 80 minutes on the field without any feelings of injury was also good news. But coach Jeglertz still thinks his team is too complacent, especially in the defense. "When we play the big games in Women's Cup we cannot afford to give away goals like this", he said.
There never was any doubt about the victory, and Jitex hadn't expected anything else; "But we scored three goals on Umeå at their home ground. Of course we feel good", said a pleased Jitex coach. He also had reason to be pleased with his recent reinforcements, both the two goalscorers and Leah Robinson who impressed in midfield. And pleased was probably also the just-turned-17 Sara Sjöstedt, who came on as a late substitute to make her Damallsvenskan debut and scored Jitex' third with a powerfull shot from 20 meters out.

Kopparbergs/Göteborg FC - Mallbacken IF 3 - 3 (1-0)
Göteborg: Maria Edman - Maria Nilsson, Sofia Dammström, Frida Höglund, Marlene Sjöberg - Camilla Schelin (72 Rebecca Ljungdahl), Frida Thydén, Sara Lindén, Emmelie Farfa - Lotta Schelin, Salina Olsson
Mallbacken:
Goals: 1-0 Lotta Schelin (32), 1-1 Kristin Ek (46), 2-1 Sara Lindén (58), 2-2 Maja Johansson (63), 2-3 Linda Ranström (86), 3-3 Lotta Schelin (89)

Mallbacken left Göteborg with one point and mixed feelings, coming back from behind twice to take the lead only to see Lotta Schelin, still in great goal-scoring form and showing how important she is for her team, score an equaliser in the last minutes. But coach Fahlén feels they're in a positive curve and gaining points on their relegation competitors Qbik and Jitex is good.
Göteborg seemed to relax after getting the lead in the first half and were taken aback by Mallbacken's surge forward in the second. Schelin saved the team from a defeat almost as embarrasing as the one against Hammarby last week. But still, coach Pringle pointed out, they created more during the first half today than they did during the entire hammarby match.
