"It's a disaster. It's impossible to play properly today," Viktoria Persson says to Viaplay despite the victory.

The match was supposed to start at 1:00 PM but was postponed when the referee deemed the pitch in Solna unfit for play after the rainfall over the past 24 hours.

75 minutes after the scheduled kick-off, the match got underway, even though the pitch was still dripping wet with several puddles of water.

It was difficult for either team to produce a good game, but in the 26th minute Alice Egnér scored with her head after a fine cross from Viktoria Persson.

We're trying to make the best of this, but it's a real shit match, says AIK's Ida Björnberg.

The result means that Kristianstad overtakes AIK in the table and is now fifth.
