Djurgården's only fourth loss of the season.

Team captain Wilma Leidhammar gave the home team the perfect start when she in the 11th minute got a dream hit and shot 1–0 with her left foot a bit outside the penalty area.

Really nice, we had not had many attacks, I came in a bit of a favorable position so it was just to push through, she says to SVT.

Just two minutes into the second half, Vesna Milivojevic could curl in 2–0 on a free kick to the left outside the penalty area after Djurgården's Urara Watanabe – one of two in the wall – ducked for the shot.

Djurgården's Mimmi Wahlström was disappointed that her team could not tighten up the top struggle.

Very disappointed, Norrköping goes out and is much more tagged and aggressive than us.

Djurgården is in fourth place, three points behind third-place Häcken and eight points behind series-leading Hammarby.

The two Stockholm teams meet in the next round.
