Djurgården, still unbeaten in the spring, thus moved up to second in the table, one point behind Hammarby.

That's what we said before the match, that we would return to second place. Today, it feels like we're maintaining a high level throughout the entire match, says Tove Almqvist to Viaplay.

Tove Åsland scored both 1–0 and 2–0 in the first half, and Pauline Hammarlund and Tove Almqvist scored goals in the second half. Almqvist has now been a substitute in three matches and scored goals in all three.

As long as it's the best for the team, I'll continue on the bench, says Almqvist with a laugh.

She has been injured and is therefore not a starter yet.

AIK had only one shot – and it didn't even go on target.

It's sour, we can't get a grip on them in the press and get away from them. It's tough, tough, and sad, says midfielder Matilda Plan.

She left Djurgården for AIK before the season. She heard it already during the warm-up for the Stockholm derby when Djurgården's supporters shouted insults at her.

It's clear that I hear what they're saying in the stands. I've had to count on that, it comes with the territory, and I don't regret my choice, says she.

Plan was not affected by what the Djurgården supporters screamed.

I focused on the match and did what I could for the team.
