Jitex - Falköping  4 - 1 (1-1)
Goals: 0-1 Linnea Liljegärd
Former Damallsvenskan side Jitex dominated the encounter, except for the first 10 minutes when a somewhat sloppy defending gave Falköping the lead. Falköping had big problems, especially in the second half, when they only managed to create one single scoring opportunity.

Kopparbergs/Göteborg FC - Qbik 6 - 1 (3-0)
Göteborg: Sandra Bjurteg - Maria Karlsson, Sofia Dammström, Sofia Karlsson - Catrin Johansson (60 Julia Larsson), Emmelie Farfa, Salina Olsson, Ingvild Stensland, Anna Andén - Sofie Andersson, Sara Lindén
Qbik:
Goals: 1-0 Own goal (20), 2-0 Ingvild Stensland (29), 3-0 Sara Lindén (41), 4-0 Sofie Andersson, 5-0 Anna Andén, 6-0 Salina Olsson, 6-1 Jennifer Meier
In spite of usual starters Lotta Schelin and Marlene Sjöberg staying home with colds, Göteborg played out Qbik, that couldn't keep up with the pace. Göteborg tried out an offensive 3-5-2 formation and gave youngsters like back-up goalie Sandra Bjurteg and on the outfield Catrine Johansson, Anna Andén and Julia Larsson a chance to prove themselves. Göteborg coach Martin Pringle was pleased with what he saw and says the team only needs an experienced centre defender to be complete. Qbik's assistant coach thought his team made it a little bit too easy for the opposition, but "we met a better team".

After playing three matches against minnows, AIK faced their first real test in a friendly derby against Djurgården. Djurgården were better on every position and out-played AIK in the first half. In the second AIK started better and even managed to produce a couple of good situations on front of goal, including Hanna Jöhnk's goal on a Valkonen free-kick. Djurgården, that throughout the game played fast and aggressive football, finished off the match with a 5 minute 3 goal explosion. AIK's captain Jessica Julin was disappointed "too much girlie football" and national team coach Thomas Dennerby, who watched the game, expressed about the same thing when he said that AIK seemed to have a little-sister complex towards Djurgården.
Sanna Valkonen got hurt early in the match, but decided to keep on playing with what was later discovered to be a broken toe. The injury will probably keep her from any football for a month.

Trondheim Ørn - Umeå IK 0 - 0 (0-0)
Umeå:  Carola Söberg (46 Ulla-Karin Rönnlund) - Emma Berglund, Johanna Frisk, Anna Paulsson, Karolina Westberg (20 Maja Johansson) - Lisa Dahlqvist, Emelie Konradsson (46 Elaine), Lise Klaveness, June Pedersen (46 Maria Bergkvist) - Erika Karlsson, Madeleine Edlund
Umeå's first match in Trondheim was played on the evening after a 10 hour overland trip. They still started good, but when Westberg had to step off with a sprained foot already after 20 minutes, the Norwegians took over and were maybe the ones closest to a victory. Coach Jeglertz was satisfied with the defense, but the offense lacked both deep and width. Several players made their first match for Umeå, which might explain some nervousness. Marta rested with a sore thigh, everybody else got time on the field.

Trondheim Ørn - Umeå IK 1 - 3 (0-2)
Umeå: Carola Söberg - Emma Berglund, Johanna Frisk, Anna Paulsson, Maria Bergkvist (60 June Pedersen) - Lisa Dahlqvist, Elaine, Lise Klaveness, Marta - Erika Karlsson (Emelie Konradsson), Madeleine Edlund (75 Maja Johansson)
Goals:  0-1 Madeleine Edlund (20), 0-2 Erika Karlsson (30), 1-2 Ann Iren Mørkved (52 PK), 1-3 Marta (73)
In the second match against the Norwegian top side, the Umeå players were eager to go home with a win. A better attacking play with the outside defenders joining in and contributing with the width in the attacks. Erika Karlsson and Madeleine Edlund also cooperated better than the match before. The big difference was of course the precense of Marta, here as an attacking midfielder. Jeglertz once again satisfied with the defence and pointing out that the attack will be even better when Hanna Ljungberg, Ramona Bachman and Ma Xiaoxu joins in.
