But not everything is peaceful and joyful for the superior Damallsvenskan league leader. At the beginning of the week, it was announced that a player on the team had received threatening messages. It was the second time this year that a player in the Malmö club had been threatened.

It's bloody awful that you have to be exposed to a situation like this in 2024, said the club's chairman Håkan Wifvesson to TT.

But on the pitch, everything is going smoothly for Rosengård this season. On Monday, Häcken was defeated 1-0 - and on Saturday, AIK was defeated away with 5-1.

At a sunny Skytteholms IP, there was never any doubt about the outcome.

Rebecca Knaak scored 1-0 after 13 minutes, and then followed three straight Japanese Rosengård goals: Mai Kadowaki scored two goals and Momoko Tanikawa scored one goal. 5-0 was an own goal, and before the match was over, AIK managed to score a consolation goal, 5-1, through Adelisa Grabus.

Second-placed Häcken never got a grip on Piteå, and the match in Norrbotten ended 0-0. This means that Häcken (40 points) has a whole eleven points up to league leader Rosengård, despite the Malmö club having one fewer match played (17 matches).

Third-placed Hammarby - which stands on 39 points after 17 matches - meets Djurgården on Monday.

It was also goalless between Linköping and Brommapojkarna on Saturday. IFK Norrköping simultaneously beat bottom-placed Trelleborg 2-1 away.

Corrected: In an earlier version, the incorrect number of points for Häcken was stated.
