First victory for Rosengård leaves them off the bottom of the table

Rosengård leaves the top spot in the Swedish women's league after a surprising victory over top team Eskilstuna. "Finally we get the first three points of the season," says Ria Öling to Viaplay.

The Malmö team won 3–0 away, scoring two goals in the first 12 minutes and extending the lead to 3–0 in the second half. Eskilstuna had only two shots on goal.

The victory was Rosengård's first this year. They moved off the bottom and are now twelfth, in the relegation play-off place.

It was important because we have played well for periods in previous matches but have not been able to turn things around and get three points. Hopefully we can turn it around now, Öling said.

Newcomer Eskilstuna has surprised at the start of the women's Swedish league and remains in third place in an uneven table. Hammarby tops the table after their sixth straight victory, 1–0 over Kristianstad.
