With a comfortable 3-0 win, Umeå secured the championship 4 matches from the end of the season. Örebro's coach Pia Sundhage commented that Umeå really are too good for the rest of the teams in Damallsvenskan. "It's really not good for the league with such a superiority for one team." But on the other hand people has been saying that since Öxabäck (6 championships in the 70's and 80's) dominated.
Umeå took control of the match from the start, determined to decide the championship. Örebro managed to hold back Umeå the first 30 minutes. The first goal was very much a trademark Umeå goal. Örebro's Dowling, on one of her offensive excursions, lost the ball to Umeå's Valkonen, who passed it on to Moström, who continued forward and gave a great pass to Marta, who had escaped her defender and could score undisturbed. All this in less than 10 seconds from Valkonen's break to Marta's goal. Shortly after Marta scored directly from a corner kick and the rest was mostly a wait for the championship celebrations.
