Linköping won the SM gold in football both in 2016 and 2017, but this season it's about just hanging on in damallsvenskan. The team is in a relegation spot and needs every point they can get.

That's why Cajsa Andersson's first goal in her career came as a gift from above.

At a score of 1–2 in the final minutes, the 32-year-old goalkeeper moved up into the offensive penalty area for a final push. Cajsa Andersson reached the highest on Jonna Andersson's corner and headed in 2–2 in the 97th minute.

I suppose I should be satisfied. It's the first goal I've ever made and saves a point. It feels important. So I suppose I should be satisfied even if we're not entirely satisfied with a point, says Cajsa Andersson to Viaplay.

With seven matches left to play, Linköping is second to last in the table. Up to Brommapojkarna (eight matches left) on qualifying spot it's five points.
