Damallsvenskan round 19: Umeå doesn't want to celebrate yet

After defeating Kopparbergs/Göteborg, Umeå has to lose both remaining league matches while Djurgården wins theirs and manages to better their goal diference with 25 goals compared to Umeå. And three 8-0 wins seems more probable than Umeå losing to AIK. But Umeå's players and management doesn't take any chances: "We will celebrate the championship at home after the match against AIK" said team captain Karolina Westberg.

Linköping opened strong and dominated the first half, partly invited by Bälinge's weak attack and bad passes to do so, scoring two goals in the first 25 minutes. Linköping had to play without Nigerians Ikidi and Mmadu, whose contracts finished before the World Cup, but at least against Bälinge that didn't seem to be a problem. Bälinge didn't give up in spite of the bad start and in the last 10 minutes of the match they incessantly challenged Linköping's goal, but only managed a consolation goal by young substitute Moa Eriksson.
Linköping's midfielder Anna-Kaisa Rantanen was due for her come-back following a long injury spell, when she stepped wrong on the warm-up and sprained her foot. She is still waiting for her first match this season. On the Bälinge side Annette Kent was missing. Since the club already has secured their Damallsvenskan contract for 2008 and don't have much option to advance, she had been offered and accepted the opportunity to end her contract and return to the USA.
