Malmö FF were in the quarter-finals of the European Cup until the 86th minute, when the collapse came. Ajax scored twice in four minutes and knocked the Scandinavians out.

Malmö's women's team had a 2–1 lead from the away leg in the Netherlands, and the return match in Skåne remained goalless for a long time.

That changed in the 86th minute, when Bo van Egmond put Ajax 1–0 up against Sweden's blue-and-yellow goalkeeper Zecira Musovic. The score meant extra time, but it never came.

In the 90th minute, Sherida Spitse made it 2–0, sending Ajax through to the quarter-finals, where Hammarby awaits.

The Stockholm team advanced after another big win over Slovakia's Spartak Myjava. "Bajen" won 4–0 at home and progressed 7–1 on aggregate.

The quarter-finals will be played over two legs in February.
