On a rain-soaked and difficult Hammarby IP, Julie Blakstad scored the winning goal already in the tenth minute. With her ninth goal of the season, she also sent Hammarby up as the new league leader in Damallsvenskan.
There is a three-point difference down to Häcken, four down to Malmö FF, but the two pursuing teams have two matches to spare on Hammarby at the same time.
For the reigning champions in Rosengård, it's going tougher. The Malmö team lost heavily at home to Växjö on Friday evening, 2–3, after, among other things, two clumsy own goals.
Emma Pennsäter forced in 1–0 to Rosengård in the 60th minute. But a couple of minutes later, the unfortunate Emilia Pelgander scored the equalizer into her own goal.
Emma Jansson gave the home team the lead again, but Växjö equalized through Larkin Russell. And with only a few minutes left to play, it was Halimatu Ayinde's turn to be in the wrong place.
The Rosengård defender was supposed to stop a cross from the sideline but instead steered in 2–3 into the goal.
Last year's championship team is now ninth in the table, but has only five points down to the qualifying line. Växjö is tenth, one point behind Rosengård.
