It was Linköping's fourth consecutive loss and they remain in second-to-last place in the table on five points.

The match was the last in the tenth round and the last Swedish women's match before the European Championship squad is taken out on Wednesday.

Linköping defender Jonna Andersson is despite the club's struggles in the series given a place in the national team.

It is also Häcken goalkeeper Jennifer Falk. Hisings team's attacking starlet Felicia Schröder, 18, is knocking on the door for her first European Championship and maybe even the experienced Anna Anvegård, 36 landskamper, will get a place. Anvegård has been very injury-prone in recent years and was not with the European Championship 2022 and the World Championship 2023. The knee problems also made her absent from the end of last year until May this year. She abstained from surgery in order to try to get a place in the European Championship squad.

Hop is the last thing to abandon one, but I have no huge hopes, she says about European Championship expectations to Viaplay before Monday's match.

There are very many good players competing for places. It will be tough.

Felicia Schröder about European Championship hopes:

It would have been really cool. I have worked hard to get there, do my best on training and matches, she says to Viaplay.

Anvegård scored 1–0 for Linköping, her first Swedish women's goal this year, set up by Schröder.

Alice Bergström, Matilda Nildén and Paulina Nyström headed in 2–0, 3–0 respectively 4–0 in the second half after corners. It also became 5–0 in extra time through an own goal.
