AIK turned it around in the headwind, beat Rosengård

AIK have started the Swedish women's championship perfectly. In a windy Malmö, they came from behind to win 2–1 against reigning champions Rosengård.

Having the wind at your back is not always an advantage. AIK had it in the first half at Malmö IP, when Rosengård dominated and went into the break with a fair 1–0 lead.

In the headwind in the second half, AIK took off - and turned it around to victory.

Ida Björnberg scored to make it 1–1 in the 82nd minute. Olivia Garcia completed the turnaround when she put the visitors 2–1 up in added time.

"It's incredibly nice that we can go out and turn this around in the second half and bring home all three points," Björnberg tells Viaplay.

AIK is in a joint lead after two rounds with a maximum of six points. Rosengård, with more Swedish championship gold medals than any other team, has meanwhile started with two losses.

Sunday's second match, Uppsala–Piteå, ended 0–0.
