Djurgården  secured their second place and helped saving AIK's Damallsvenskan place, as they played out against Falköping, often playing directly from the defenders to the forwards. Falköping had problems defending their area and even bigger problems creating anything against Djurgården's well organized defense.

After three matches without a win, malmö finally got their game together and defeated Sunnanå in their last home game for the season. Malmö's national team players Therese Sjögran and Nilla Fischer won the midfield and Emma Stålhammar scored an early goal after a great pass from Therese Jönsson. It was a fairly enjoyable match between two good sides and there were a lot more chances than the meagre scoring line would suggest. Sunnanå's retiring coach Kenneth Isaksson commented that when he came to the clun three years ago, they were standing in their penlty-box, just kicking the ball away, in matches against the top sides. Now, they are disappointed with a single goal defeat. Still, his goalkeeper Åsa Berglund and Hanna Marklund in defense were his most important players.

Lisa Dahlqvist scored the first goal after only 14 seconds and then it just continued. Lisa Dahlqvist made a hat-trick, including what she herself calls "a Marta", a corner-kick directly into goal. Ramona scored a brace within one minute. Everyone seemed to have fun, maybe except Marta who only managed to hit the goalpost twice. On the other hand she as usually set up a couple of goals.

In spite of missing several starters (Hingst with her national team, Dalum Jensen suspended, Lundh unwell and Bengtsson injured), Djurgården rolled over AIK in pouring rain. AIK, and mostly Sofia Lundgren, managed to fend off Djurgården the first 20 minutes. But after Victoria Svensson's 1-0 goal the floodgates opened. Djurgården's dominance were so big that they could subb in two of their development team players, Mia Jalkerud scoring her first ever Damallsvenskan goal and 16 years old Victoria Touma made her premier league debut. The only positive thing for AIK was that Laura Kalmari played 30 minutes in her first match after her injury.

Sunnanå defeated Falköping 8-0 in their first meeting, but repeating that at Falköping's home turf proved everything but easy. They did get a great start with Mirjam Marklund - doing just as well as a forward as she has been doing in defense lately - scoring after only a couple of minutes, and might have gotten the idea that this would go as easy as last time. But Falköping's Sandra Krantz got through when Hanna Marklund slipped on the wet and difficult pitch and great work from goalie Malin Andersson kept Falköping tied. Sunnanå dominated, but Falköping had dangerous counters. After a Sunnanå corner-kick Falköping could make a fast counter and Madeleine Tegström gave the home team the lead. In the middle of the second half Sunnanå subbed in the speedy midfielders Nordbrandt and Johansson, which paid off when Nordbrandt equalized. Sunnanå continued to press on for a win, but Falköping managed to hold on.

Attendance: 613
Josefine Öqvist was carried off the field with a knee injury already after 15 minutes. That was the only downside for Linköping, who played their best match so far this season. Their Nigerian defender Faith Ikidi was successful in keeping Lotta Schelin away and Göteborg didn't create many scoring opportunities. Ingvild Stensland made her come-back for Göteborg after more than two months on the injury list. She was happy to be back and coach Pringle was satisfied with her performance, she just needs more matches to be completely back to her old self.
There are yet no details about Öqvist's injury, but Linköping's assistant coach Kieback was optimistic.

Attendance: 441
The water-drenched field in Malmö proved hard to master for both sides. It was almost impossible get a normal passing play to work, as the ball often came to an abrupt stop in a water puddle, and runs and dribble attempts often ended in the player slipping on the wet surface. Bälinge's coach Zaine Söderlund called it a parody of football, but the referee had approved the field after a substantial effort from the field manager to get excess water off the pitch. But the rain continued most of the match.
After a first half, that could have been called entertaining but not in the right way, both teams changed their approach, playing mostly high balls and avoiding short passing. It still was more fighting for the ball than playing and Malmö proved stronger here. The first goal came, predictably, from a corner-kick. Manon Melis kicked in the ball from distance, picking up a clearance from the Bälinge defense. But Bälinge worked on, Mäkinen hard working hub in the midfield and Kacey White creative in the attack, and had a couple of balls saved on the goalline. Malmö closed the match minutes from the whistle when Frida Nordin managed to run away from Bälinge's defense with the ball and set up Melis.

Attendance: 2,608
A predictable win for league leaders Umeå against last place Qbik. Qbik's fullbacks suffered a lot against Umeå's speedy and skilled outside forwards Marta and Ramona Bachman. Centre forward Edlund set up her teammates several times and also managed to score twice, maybe getting back to her early season form?
Malin Moström never left the bench, which probably was a good decision, since her Tuesday training session was her first ball contact since November last year. Also benched was goalie Carola Söberg, maybe the club making a point after her not entirely successful performance against Djurgården?
Qbik had to travel to Umeå without their suspended keeper Maria Yatrakis, but it really wouldn't have mattered. Coach Janne Jansson wasn't even disappointed: "We don't have the capacity to disturb a team like Umeå, they are simply too good."

Would Umeå defeat Djurgården, have a 10 point lead with only half the matches played and effectively kill the league? That was the question talked about in media before this weekend. But Djurgården defeated Umeå and Victoria Svensson was very pleased "If we had lost, we would have been 10 points down and that would have been hard. Now it's only 4 and the league is alive!". Umeå's head coach Andrée Jeglertz commented surly "I guess everybody is cheering now", but didn't look like he would join in. And Umeå's goalscorer Hanna Ljungberg, looking not quite as sulky as her coach, said that she wants to win matches, all matches - "you will never get me to say that a defeat is good". SVT's controversial columnist Jonas Karlsson on the other hand claimed that the loss was good for Umeå - they probably lost thousands of spectators and SEK 1,5 millions in revenue last year because the league was decided too early.

Bonus info: Umeå's undefeated streak in Damallsvenskan became 56 matches long, starting after the 1-0 defeat to Malmö FF October 9, 2004, making it almost exactly 32 months long. They lost points only twice; a 2-2 draw at Malmö in April 2005 and a 1-1 home draw against Kopparbergs/Göteborg in May 2006. Umeå could boast 24 straight league wins before they finally lost to Djurgården. During the streak, Umeå lost 6 cup maches (Swedish and UEFA), 4 to Djurgården and one each to Linköping and Arsenal.

Attendance: 579
Falköping, strong at home, opened optimistic and Sandra Krantz gets her team the lead after only minutes. The match could have been decided after Linnea Liljegärd?s 2-0, but Qbik?s German striker Jennifer Meier exploited a defensive mistake to make it 2-1. After Amelie Rybäck?s equalizer in the second half, both teams seemed content with the result.

Attendance: 417
A pretty tight match, where the teams compensated for lack of quality with hard work. With Bälinge looking not at all as good as in the win over Örebro last match, they were lucky to get away with a win. Hammarby got an early lead as Jessica Landström took advantage of a miscalculated rush from Bälinge?s keeper. In one of Bälinge?s few first half scoring opportunities, winger Katri Nokso-Koivisto scored from close range after a missed attempt from Sanna Talonen. Hammarby had a lot of possession, but lacked the necessary edge finishing. Moa Eriksson pushed in the winner for Bälinge, where Hammarby wanted a free-kick for an attack on the goalkeeper.

Attendance: 810
An undisputed win for the Malmö side, where Therese Sjögran and Nilla Fischer, both in really great form, owned the midfield. Manon Melis made the goal of the match when she dribbled past two Linköping defenders on the left side and scored from an almost impossibly narrow angle. The post-match comments was just as much about Djurgården?s win over Umeå, which Malmö considered a win for them too, as about the match that was played.

Attendance: 542
Göteborg, eager to better themselves after the disappointing draw against Qbik, scored the only goal in the match, when Sara Lindén picked up a missed clearance after a corner-kick. The rest of the match the guests had a pretty hard time against a home-strong Sunnanå. The backline with the Marklund sisters made a good job keeping Lotta Schelin off the scoresheet and they were aggressive in midfield, but had problems getting their play to work in the offensive third of the field.

Attendance: 3,828
It started good for Umeå, with a Hanna Ljungberg goal after only 11 minutes, but Djurgården played determined and disciplined. Their usual recipe for an Umeå match - play close, play hard and pressure high in the field - worked out as intended this time. Linda Forsberg equalised after 32 minutes as a botched clearance from Umeå?s keeper Carola Söberg found it?s way to her feet and Victoria Svensson worked herself to a great goal only minutes later, getting past Umeå?s left side defense. As Umeå tried to come back in the second half, Djurgården seemed to play harder, not the least against Marta, and there were a couple of yellow cards.
There were two early casualties in the match. Djurgården?s Kicki Bengtsson left already after 13 minutes feeling an old injury (?We knew it was a risk to let her start?, said coach Benny Persson) and Umeå?s defender Johanna Frisk was carried off with a torn knee ligament after 23 minutes. Umeå?s defense seemed to have some problems getting organised after that.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
