Malmö FF - KIF Örebro 2-0 (0-0)
Malmö: Caroline Jönsson - Jenny Engwall, Therese Jönsson, Malin Levenstad, Dóra Stefánsdóttir - Frida Nordin (85 Johanna Rosén), Therese Sjögran, Nilla Fischer, Emma Wilhelmsson - Therese Lundin, Ásthildur Helgadóttir
Örebro: Kristin Hammarström - Ingrid Ericsson, Stina Segerström, Keeley Dowling, Caroline Näfver - Hodan Siid-Ahmed, Elin Magnusson, Lena Andersson, Marie Hammarström - Louise Östman, Emelia Erixon
Goals: 1-0 Therese Sjögran (54), 2-0 Asthildur Helgadottir (78)
Attendance: 539
Malmö seems to be continously negotiating with Asthildur Helgadottir's Icelandic club Breidablik for extensions of her Swedish stay and had just before the match announced that she will be in Sweden for the 4th and 5th Damallsvenskan games. After watching the match between Malmö and Örebro you can understand why. Asta was the centerpiece in Malmö's offensive half and almost everything revolved around her. "If we want to replace her, we need to get somebody like Birgit Prinz", commented Malmö's coach Jörgen Petersson after the match.
The first half of the match was fairly even with a lot of midfield play, but as the match went on Malmö showed they were the better side. Both goals came from passes by Frida Nordin, who so far has been sucessfull filling in for last year's right side player Formiga. Keeley Dowling made her debut for Örebro and was calm, composed, efficient in defense and named Player of the Match for Örebro. Örebro's Pia Sundhage commented that coming from a 8-1 defeat at Malmö last season, this showed they are on the rght path.

Bälinge IF - Mallbackens IF 2-0 (1-0)
Bälinge: Maja Åström - Karolina Mats, Lina Andersson, Fanta Cooper, Nera Smajic - Julianne Sitch, Maria Thuré (Madelene Hagberg), Linda Sembrandt - Minna Mustonen (Heidi Matinlassi), Emma Lindqvist, Kacey White (Mikaela Björklund)
Mallbacken: Carola Söberg - Louise Jonasson (45 Kristin Ek), Therse Stolpe, Kathlén Fernström, Helena Nilsson - Therese Persson (55 Maja Johansson), Linda Nöjd, Linda Ranström, Erla Arnardóttir - Jenny Rådström (45 Emma Asp), Jenny Monsén
Goals: 1-0 Lina Andersson (12), 2-0 Kacey White (73)
Attendance: 512
Both sides started cautiously with deep defense, which gave a rather uneventfull first half. Bälinge tried to get in from Mustonen and White on the wings. This worked once, when Kacey White managed to get through to Lina Andersson, who scored 1-0. In the second half Mallbacken, hunting for an equaliser, pushed up their defense, which opened big areas for Bälinge's counters. Kacey White ran away on a long Linda Sembrant pass and could score undisturbed.
Mallbacken's coach Peter Wennberg commented that even if the match as a whole was even, Mallbacken lacks the edge in attack that Bälinge has.

Qbik - Djurgården/Älvsjö 1-1 (0-0)
Qbik:
Djurgården: Bente Nordby - Kristin Bengtsson, Jane Törnqvist (74 Anna Hall), Therese Brogårde, Amme Norlin (83 Malin Engdahl) - Katrine Pedersen, Ellen Ekblom, Laura Kalmari - Linda Fagerström, Victoria Svensson, Sara Thunebro
Goals: 1-0 Anna Nilsson (53), 1-1 Linda Fagerström (62)
Attendance: 708
Djurgården were the better side, directing most of the play, but are having problems interacting in the offensive area. When they tried to push up the play in the second half they made themselves vulnerable to Qbik's counters. Anna Nilsson managed to break free, took a powerfull shot from distance that Nordby had her fingers on, hit the horizontal, the back on the ground before in finally backspinned into net. Djurgården pressed front even more after the goal, but all that succeeded was a cross from right by Linda Fagerström, that probably was steered into goal with a touch from Qbik's defense.
Qbik's coach Ljell Petersson declared himself "completely satisfied" with the result, while Djurgården's Benny Persson was less so. The team played good, but by the number of chances they created there should be more goals.

Umeå IK - Kopparbergs/Göteborg FC 1-1 (1-1)
Umeå: Sofia Lundgren - Anna Paulson, Karolina Westberg, Sanna Valkonen, Maria Bergkvist - Anne Mäkinen, Malin Moström, Lisa Dahlqvist (80 Elaine) - Anna Sjöström (90 Johanna Andersson), Lise Klaveness, Marta
Göteborg: Maria Edman - Marlene Sjöberg, Frida Höglund, Sofia Dammström, Maria Nilsson - Lotta Schelin, Sofie Andersson, Jesica Julin, Johanna Almgren (87 Hanna Wedefalk), Camilla Schelin (84 Sofia Palmqvist) - Salina Olsson
Goals: 1-0 Lise Klaveness (31), 1-1 Camilla Schelin (37)
Attendance: 1,384
Göteborg continued the tactics they successfully pulled off against Malmö last match - not playing to win, but playing not to lose. They didn't get up front much, but defended well and an almost fluke shot by the lesser known Schelin sister got them a draw.
Jitex BK - Hammarby IF 2-2 (2-1)
Jitex: Anna Rehnlund - Linda Fyhr, Emma Herbring, Amelie Rybeck, Sophia Lindorsson - Lisa Christensson (63 Jennie Ringkvist), Therese Björk (88 Therese Andersson), Malin Normelli, Jennie Svensson, Sofia Skog (60 Kajsa Tornfalk) - Therese Bjurenlind
Hammarby: Katarina Wicksell - Annica Svensson, Jessica Landström, Karolina Rinman, Elin Härén - Louise Fors (Caitlin Fisher), Therese Sandström, Jennie Jonsson, Marijke Callebaut (Lisa Björkvik) - Sara Johansson, Linda Forsberg
Goals: 1-0 Sofia Skog (1), 2-0 Therese Björk (26), 2-1 Therese Sandström (44), 2-2 Marijke Callebaut (53)
Attendance: 325
Jitex got a dream start when Sofia Skog could put the ball in goal after a great pass from Lisa Christensen and when Therese Björk increased the lead 25 minutes later that was only Jitex second shot on goal. Hammarby, that had had the ball most of the time and directing the play became increasingly frustrated with not being able to penetrate the hard fighting Jitex defense. Hammarby's fast attacker Sara Johansson, who has been successfull in the team's earlier matches, was largely kept out of the play by Jitex centre defenders Emma Herbring and Amelie Rybeck. Hammarby's pressure still paid off with goals from a high ball and a corner shot, but Jitex didn't lose their compusure and managed to save the draw.
