Hammarby managed to create some excitement in the second leg despite suffering two quick setbacks early on. But when Felicia Schröder got a new chance in the second half, the 19-year-old scored again.
It was enough for Häcken to hold on and win the inaugural European Cup.
It was already clear in advance that Hammarby had an uphill battle in the return leg, after Häcken's 1-0 victory in Stockholm on Saturday and the fact that Hammarby's women had never defeated Häcken at Hisingen.
But the slope suddenly became even steeper when Felicia Schröder - the only scorer last time - was left unmarked twice in less than three minutes.
Loss of momentum
After just under six minutes, the Häcken star got the ball on the edge of the penalty area, turned and scored 1–0 at the post.
Two and a half minutes later, Anna Anvegård connected a pass and Schröder easily rolled in 2–0.
At that point, Hammarby needed to score three goals just to take the match to extra time.
But just like in the first final match, Häcken suddenly lost control of their game.
This led to Hammarby reducing the deficit after just under half an hour, through a header by Sofia Rehnberg.
"We started very strongly, we were on the ball the whole time. But then I think we went down again, like we did in the last game," said two-goal scorer Felicia Schröder in Aftonbladet's halftime broadcast.
Chance for revenge
Immediately after the break, Elin Sørum also headed in a corner kick to make it 2–2.
But in the end, Häcken - and Felicia Schröder's goal-scoring - came back to life.
And this time Hammarby couldn't come back.
In just over two weeks, however, the Stockholm team will have a chance for revenge against Häcken, when the teams meet again in the final of the Swedish Cup.
On Friday, Häcken became the latest Swedish football team to win a major European tournament.
