Hammarby have found their form ahead of the conclusion of the autumn season in Damallsvenskan. The team has not lost since May and at home against Linköping, yet another three points would be secured.

Already after 13 minutes, "Bajen's" midfielder Vilma Koivisto could score the leading goal.

After that, the national team defender Smilla Holmberg took over the show. Just before the break, the 18-year-old increased to 2–0 via a free kick and the second half had barely begun before she also made it 3–0.

The right-back, who missed the decisive penalty for Sweden against England in the quarterfinals of the summer's European Championship, has now scored six goals during the season.

The 1–0 scorer Koivisto was not at all satisfied with the team's performance, despite three new points.

Important three points, even if it did not look completely perfect. We cannot really be satisfied with the performance today, she says in Viaplay's broadcast.

The victory means that Hammarby continues to top the table, four points ahead of Malmö FF, which however has one match less played.
