Damallsvenskan Round XIV: Djurgården stumbles

Predictably, Djurgården stumbled just when they had caught up with leaders Umeå. But Sunnanå has shown great strength this season, defeating Umeå and drawing both Malmö and Djurgården in the league and knocking out Djurgården from the Swedish Cup. Djurgården are now trailing three points and a lot of goals behind Umeå and must once again rely on other teams to take points from the ruling champions.

Djurgården - Sunnanå SK 1 - 1 (0-1)
Djurgården: Bente Nordby - Dorte Dalum Jensen, Therese Brogårde, Jane Törnqvist, Sara Thunebro - Elin Ekblom, Ann-Marie Norlin (84 Mia Jalkerud), Anna Hall (46 Kristin Bengtsson), Linda Forsberg - Emma Lundh (64 Anna Lagerberth), Victoria Svensson,
Sunnanå: Åsa Berglund - Josefin Johansson (85 Magdalena Esseryd), Sandra Berggren, Hanna Marklund, Rebecca Smith, Anna Bodén, Kristina Wiklund, Maria Nordbrandt (63 Sanna Frostevall), Mirjam Marklund, Lina Johansson (51 Johanna Lindahl), Alexandra Nilsson
Goals: 0-1 Mirjam Marklund (14), 1-1 Anna Lagerberth (70)
Attendance: 573
Little sister Marklund scored the early opener for Sunnanå with a nice finish from a Lina Johansson cross and had a great chance to get a last minute winner when she caught a stray ball and was alone with Nordby in Djurgården's goal but, as she confessed, was too tired to manage a good finish. Between that it was mostly Djurgården with numerous missed opportunities.

It started good for Göteborg, getting a good hold over the match and challenging Örebro's goal. But Örebro's dangerous striker Emelia Erixon exploited a defensive mistake to score 0-1. Göteborg started to play confused and unorganised, while Örebro were efficient and could get what seemed comfortable 3 goal lead. In the middle of the second half Örebro lost two midfielders to smaller injuries and Göteborg's coach Pringle changed to an offensive 4-3-3 and managed to turn the tide. Two goals in the last 10 minutes saved a point for the hosts.

Attendance: 751
Malmö got an early lead from a bouncing long shot, but otherwise Hammarby played a nice, fast short-passing game and stood up well against the hosting favourites. The match weasn't really decided until Malmö's coaches decided to change both their forwards after two thirds of the match. Substitute Emma Stålhammar scored twice in five minutes, once as Malmö could take advantage of Hammarby's, otherwise good, new goalkeeper Lehmann as she has followed her team very far up in the field. Stefansdottir's 4-0 goal was a roaring shot from 25 meters, that pleased the crowd greatly.

Attendance: 483
"Good defense and good goalkeepers" was Qbik coach Janne Jansson's explanation why a good game where both sides created several scoring chances still ended goalless. In particular Qbik's Yatrakis had a match deciding performance as she won her encounters with AIK's Kalmari.

It took Umeå 70 minutes to wear down the injury-ridden Linköping side. "It was tough and even for 70 minutes", commented national team coach Thomas Dennerby, who made a guest appearance as commentator in the broadcast of the match. Umeå's Jeglertz still wasn't satisfied with his team's performance - not enough movement, too many balls without address.
