Gold-tipped Häcken has got a catastrophic start to the women's top league. Away against Kristianstad, Hisingslaget suffered their second straight defeat. I don't enjoy the performance, said home-returner Elin Rubensson.

First 2–3 in the premiere at home against the Damallsvenskan newcomer Malmö FF. And now 0–2 away against Kristianstad.

Kristianstad's both goals came during the first half and Häcken star Elin Rubensson was not directly pleased.

I enjoy being on the pitch again, but I don't enjoy the performance during the first 45 minutes, said Rubensson to Viaplay after the first act.

Midfield veteran Rubensson returned home to Häcken before this season after a less successful outing to Houston Dash in the American NWSL league. Rubensson missed the premiere due to illness, but started away against the Scanians.

We must step up on every position, said the 31-year-old.

In the second half, Rubensson played only barely ten minutes before being substituted. However, there was no goal forward for Häcken.

Beata Olsson and Alexandra Jóhannsdóttir secured Kristianstad's victory with one goal each.

We felt a bit revengeful from last weekend and know that we are a good team, said Beata Olsson, whose Kristianstad fell with 1–2 in the premiere against Djurgården.

The reigning champion Rosengård has lost a lot of starting players for this season, but has started with two straight 1–0 wins.

After the three-pointer at home against Piteå, it was a new win away against Växjö. The Norwegian newcomer Emilie Woldvik became the match's only goal scorer.
