Djurgården/Älvsjö is a much better team than Hammarby ("They have a team full of internationals, we have one player that sometimes is invited to come along and watch from the bench", Hammarby's coach En Perlskog complained) and when Hammarby's defense makes mistakes "almost as bad as Sweden's men against Germany" (to quote the TV commentary) it can't end any other way. In particular Victoria Svensson had a good day, being an essential part of all Djurgården's goals. This was shown on TV and provided better entertainment than last week, but still not a great game.

KIF Örebro - Linköpings FC 1 - 2 (0-1)
Örebro: Kristin Hammarström - Caroline Näfver, Stina Segerström, Keeley Dowling, Ingrid Ericson - Lena Andersson, Marie Hammarström (78 Kelly Schmedes), Hodan Siid-Ahmed, Elin Magnusson (90+5 Marina Pettersson), Emelia Ericsson - Louise Östman
Linköping: Hedvig Lindahl - Frida Östberg, Marie-Louise Skålberg, Charlotte Rohlin, Maria Lindström (Sandra Landberg) - Josefine Öqvist (Petra Larsson), Caroline Seger, Anna-Kaisa Rantanen, Maria Karlsson - Tiffeny Millbrett, Maria Aronsson (Ann Westermark)
Goals: 0-1 Josefine Öqvist (8), 1-1 Emelia Erixon (47), 1-2 Maria Karlsson (85)
Attendance: 502
Örebro, had to start without their key forwards Scasna (playing Word Cup qualifications for Czech republic) and Schmedes (injured?), and applied a defensive 4-5-1. Still Linköping scored already in the 8th minute after a nice play between Maria Aronsson and Josefine Öqvist. After that Linköping had problems getting through and Örebro managed to equalise from a set piece in the beginning of the second half. Linköping moved up Maria Karlsson to make it a 4-3-3 and shortly before the end it paid off when Karlsson managed to run free on her flank and score the winner.
But the victory was hard earned for Linköping. Maria Aronsson had to limp off with a contusion, Öqvist with stomach pains and, after all substitutions had been used, Sandra Landberg got a concussion and Charlotte Rohlin a bruised foot. And Hedvig Lindahl finished the match with a muscle strain, that will probably keep her from playing for a while.

Malmö FF - Bälinge 1 - 0 (1-0)
Malmö: Caroline Jönsson - Johanna Rosén (46 Lina Nilsson), Emma Wilhelmsson, Therese Jönsson, Jenny Engwall - Nanna Johansen, Nilla Fischer, Therese Sjögran, Frida Nordin - Emma Stålhammar, Therese Lundin
Bälinge: Maja Åström - Karolina Mats, Fanta Cooper, Lina Andersson, Nera Smajic (77 red card) - Mikaela Björklund (58 Heidi Matinlassi), Mona Najib (68 Emma Lindqvist), Linda Sembrant, Minna Mustonen (Madelene Hagberg) - Amy Vermeulen, Julianne Sitch (78 red card).
Goals: 1-0 Therese Lundin (43)
Attendance: 464

Bälinge started strong and had after the first 30 minutes at least three really hot chances, including a shot in the woodwork, Sitch and Vermeulen creating a fairly powerfull attack. But Malmö (without Asthildur Helgadottir, away with Iceland's national team), was stronger in midfield and when they managed to get pace in their attacks, they also managed to score. In the second half Malmö had more control over the play, although they were never unchallenged. Not until Nera Smajic fouled Nanna Johansen (Malmö's player of the match) and got her second yellow, immideately followed by Julianne Sitch getting her second yellow for mouthing off to the referee.
