Linköpings FC vs Växjö DFF 3-0
After finishing off last season quite weak, Linköping took the opportunity already into the first round to show that they still are a team that not should be taken for granted with a comfortable 3-0 win, where all the goals were scored in the first 32 minutes of the game. The second half was quite uneventful, where Linköping ended up with just defending their lead. Norweigan national team player, Frida Leonhardsen Maanum showed the way and was involved in all three goals with two great assists and scoring one herself from the penalty spot. The other two goals were scored by Nigerian player Orji Ebere, who got a perfect start in her debut for Linköping.

This game had it all. One huge mistake from Eskilstuna United’s goalkeeper Emelie Lundberg, who totally misjudged a long ball from Örebro's Frida Abrahamsson coming from her own half of the pitch and two goals in favor for Eskilstuna which were own goals from the hosts.
The only Eskilstuna goal which didn't come from an own goal was delivered from young talent Loreta Kullashi. Goal scorers for Örebro, beside Abrahamsson, were Heidi Kollanen from Finland and from their American player Cali Farquharson.

In a game where Rosengård was seen as the favourites, it took as long as 84 minutes until the past year's Swedish giants saw the ball roll into the net, an own goal by Vittsjö.

With a team full of stars, Rosengård are one out of two top teams in the race for the title and will be happy with their win.
