Damallsvenskan: Linköping keeps winning
Once again the Swedish FA administrators had managed to schedule a match-day to the same day as a crucial game for Sweden in the European Championships. Malmö's home game against Hammarby should also have been played this evening, but for some reason the clubs decided to re-schedule it to August. I have no idea why, but it still seems like a sensible decision.
Even the local papers of the playing teams have given very sparse coverage of the Wednesday night matches. I guess most of their manpower were devoted to throwing guilt and blame in various directions after Sweden's men's unsuccessful performance.
Kopparbergs/Göteborg FC - Linköpings FC 0 - 3 (0-1)
Göteborg: Jenny Olsson - Marlene Sjöberg, Jenny Hallstensson, Jane Törnqvist, Amelie Rybeck - Lisa Ek (46 Linnea Liljegärd), Ingvild Stensland, Maria Karlsson, Johanna Almgren (72 Sofia Karlsson) - Sara Lindén, Lotta Schelin (66 Emelie Farfa)
Linköping: Hedvig Lindahl - Maja Krantz, Petronella Ekroth, Marie-Louise Skålberg, Anna-Kaisa Rantanen - Josefine Öqvist, Daniela (73 Cristiane), Caroline Seger, Maria Karlsson (87 Lisa Nilsson) - Kosovare Asllani (67 Petra Larsson), Jessica Lindström

When you're on a roll, you don't have to be the best. Somehow you can score and win anyway. Linköping, undefeated leaders of the league, showed this against Göteborg. The home side had much more possession and created a lot more scoring opportunities than Linköping. But the guests scored when given the opportunity and Hedvig Lindahl saved everything that Göteborg didn't squander themselves. Linköping's Cristiane was left on the bench to make room for in-form teenager Kosovare Asllani, but probably won her starting place back as she set up one goal and scored one herself in the dying minutes of the match.
Lotta Schelin started and played 65 minutes, but still has some way to go before she is back in true form.

Sunnanå got their revenge for the loss to Umeå Södra in the league opener in April. Perpetua Nkwocha claimed it was because it wasn't snowing this time, but Sunnanå was simply better at everything and ran down the Umeå side. With the three points from the match, Sunnanå passed Umeå Södra in the table and is now just over the relegation line.

Goals: 1-0 Maria Nordbrant (11), 2-0 Leena Puranen (29), 3-0 Hanna Pettersson (75)

A weak start from Bälinge let the hosts two goals up after only half an hour. The match evened out in the second half, where Bälinge actually created some good scoring chances, but it was still very visible which team is threatened by relegation.
