The guests from Stockholm only needed two minutes to take the lead. Anna Jøsendal ran herself free on the left side and made a perfect pass that Wangerheim beautifully lobbed over Lauren Brzykcy in the Piteå goal.

A little over half an hour later, Wangerheim thanked Jøsendal for the assist when she from the short side hit the ball diagonally backwards to the Norwegian who scored 3–0 for Hammarby.

With 20 minutes left, Wangerheim scored 4–0, before Alice Carlsson set the final score to 5–0 in stoppage time.

One wants to get the ball forward, it's nice for the confidence, both for the team and for oneself, says the 20-year-old to SVT.

Hammarby leads the women's all-Swedish league on 33 points – three ahead of Häcken who have two matches fewer played and on Sunday will face Växjö.

It's an even league this year, many good teams. It's important to score many goals, also for the confidence, says Wangerheim.

In the bottom meeting between Alingsås and Brommapojkarna, Alingsås took their only second win of the season, 3–2, and thus leaves the last place.

The Skåne meeting between Kristianstad and Rosengård ended 2–1 to Kristianstad.
