In the spring, IFK Norrköping took a historic derby win against Linköping in the women's top division.

In the autumn equivalent, the teams instead shared the points after dramatic final minutes.

The home team Linköping started the scoring through substitute Aimee Claypole after 40 minutes of play. The loan from Chelsea was substituted in five minutes earlier when Sara Eriksson went out injured.

In the second half, Norrköping could turn it around to 2–1. The equalizer came through Sara Kanutte Fornes.

The winning goal was scored by "Peking" in the 82nd minute when Elin Rombing's corner went straight into the goal. The Linköping players immediately protested to the referee, claiming that a Norrköping player had blocked goalkeeper Cajsa Andersson from being able to come out, but the goal stood.

However, the majority of Norrköping supporters on site did not get to celebrate for long. Minutes later, Emma Lennartsson nodded in the 2–2 equalizer for the home team.

I think we played a good game and created opportunities to win it. It's sour that they scored two, it's a tough match, but I think we did well, says Elin Rombing in Viaplay.

In the parallel bottom match between AIK and Vittsjö, the Stockholm team lost the halftime lead of 2–1 to 2–3 in the final minutes.

The 2–2 score came in the 82nd minute via Julia Leas, and Hanna Ekengren decided the match in the 89th minute.

At the Stockholm stadium, Djurgården looked set to take a 1–0 win, but in the 87th minute, Vasileia Giannaka stepped forward for Växjö and saved a point for the eighth-placed team.
