AIK had decided to play tight in defense and not let any Umeå players through. That hold for about 40 seconds, then Marta scored. But after that AIK managed to keep it up the rest of the first half. Their hard work in defense hurt their attack, which became almost non-existent, and tired the team. AIK lost some of their concentration and Marta slipped through more and more often, scoring on a great pass from Madeleine Edlund and on a one-on-one situation with AIK's goalie Sofia Lundgren, where Lundgren saved Marta's two first tries, but had to let in the third. Lundgren's pregame analysis that Umeå's play revolves a lot around Marta was all in all substantiated by the events. Marta has now 14 goals this season, 8 of them scored in the last three matches.

Bälinge - KIF Örebro 4 - 1 (2-1)
Bälinge: Veronika Svensson - Karolina Mats, Linda Sembrant, Lina Andersson, Lisa Lantz - Katri Nokso-Koivisto, Anne Mäkinen, Kacey White, Linda Blom (59 Heidi Matinlassi) - Annette Kent (55 Emma Lindqvist), Sanna Talonen (67 Moa Eriksson),
Örebro: Kristin Hammarström - Stina Segerström (90 Hanna Pettersson), Malin Nilsson, Lena Andersson, Marie Hammarström, Keeley Dowling, Pavlina Scasna, Sandra Linder, Emelia Erixon (73 Marina Pettersson), Hodan Siid-Ahmed, Caroline Näfver
Goals: 1-0 Kacey White (7), 1-1 Emelia Erixon (26), 2-1 Kacey White (41), 3-1 Emma Lindqvist (71), 4-1 Kacey White (77)
Attendance: 518
Kacey White's return couldn't have been better. In a much more even match then the scoreline would suggest, White made the difference. In her attacking midfielder position just behind the attackers she attracted interest from the Örebro defense and created space for both Mäkinen behind her and the attackers. Her first goal was 25 meter shot and the both others from close range following corner-shots. Örebro were by no means harmless with Keeley Dowling, Emelia Erixon and Pavlina Scasna up front in a 4-3-3 formation, but after Lindqvist's 3-1 they were pretty much defeated.

Djurgården - Falköping 4 - 0 (1-0)
Djurgården: Bente Nordby - Dorte Dalum Jensen, Therese Brogårde, Jane Törnqvist, Sara Thunebro - Elin Ekblom (69 Annemarie Norlin), Ariane Hingst, Anna Hall, Linda Forsberg (78 Anna Lagerberth), Kristin Bengtsson - Victoria Svensson
Falköping: Malin Andersson - Nettan Hofling, Charlotte Abrahamsson (72 Camilla Sanderheim), Karin Neuman, Emma Eriksson, Sandra Krantz, Josefine Alfsson, Cecilia Abrahamsson, Sofia Fröjdstedt, Cynthia Uwak (60 Therese Larsson), Linnea Liljegärd (65 Madeleine Tegström)
Goals: 1-0 Linda Forsberg (27), 2-0 Victoria Svensson (57), 3-0 Ariane Hingst (68), 4-0 Victoria Svensson (81)
Attendance: 483
Falköping started optimistic and their forward duo Krantz and Uwak managed to create some situations in the beginning before Djurgården's defense had read them. Djurgården had a better pace in their play than against Göteborg and managed to open up Falköping's defense at several occasions. But it took until the second half before Djurgården's offense, mostly crosses from the wings to Victoria Svensson in the box, began to pay off.

Qbik - Kopparbergs/Göteborg 1 - 1 (0-1)
Qbik: My Axelsson - Sanna Backman (39 Lovisa Ericsson), Anna Nilsson, Julia Spetsmark, Jenny Hallstenson, Therése Lückner, Amelie Rybäck, Charlotte Nygren, Therése Björk, Elin Sandgren (83 Rebecca Johnsson), Jennifer Meier
Göteborg: Sandra Bjurteg - Maria Karlsson, Maria Nilsson, Jenny Engwall, Sofia Karlsson - Marlene Sjöberg, Anna Andén (69 Lisa Ek), Elin Dahl Örn (84 Camilla Schelin), Sofie Andersson (46 Emmelie Farfa) - Lotta Schelin, Sara Lindén,
Goals: 0-1 Sara Lindén (30), 1-1 Jennifer Meier (79)
Attendance: 398
Jennifer Meier scored the important equaliser, but the key player for Qbik was back-up goalie My Axelsson, making her Damallsvenskan debut with Maria Yatrakis serving suspension. She managed three saves in front of Lotta Schelin, who didn?t at all live up to her recent form. Qbik played well both in defense and attack and actually managed to pressure Göteborg in the second half. The draw was not unearned and Göteborg visibly missed sick Salina Olsson in midfield.

Sunnanå - LDB FC Malmö 0 - 0 (0-0)
Sunnanå: Åsa Berglund - Hanna Marklund, Magdalena Esseryd, Anna Bodén, Carina Holmberg, Kristina Wiklund, Maria Nordbrandt (77 Alexandra Nilsson), Mirjam Marklund, Lina Johansson (74 Maja Johansson), Johanna Lindahl, Sanna Frostevall
Malmö: Caroline Jönsson - Therese Jönsson, Emma Wilhelmsson, Malin Levenstad, Lina Nilsson - Frida Nordin, Nilla Fischer, Dora Stefansdottir, Therese Sjögran - Asthildur Helgadottir, Therese Lundin (67 Manon Melis),
Attendance: 714
After an even first half, Malmö took over completely in the second half. Nilla Fischer and Dora Stefansdottir dominated in the midfield and Malmö got loads of shots at goal, where Sunnanå was saved by great cooperation between the Marklund sisters as centre backs, good goalkeeping, the woodwork and Malmö?s lack of real edge in their finishes.
