It was even and exciting at a sunny, scorching Malmö IP.

When the derby was over, it was the away team MFF who got to celebrate.

The decisive goal came in the 63rd minute when American Izzy D'Aquila met a cross but chose to head the ball in. It was a wise decision, because Norwegian Sara Kanutte Fornes appeared in front of the goal and redirected the ball into the net with her head.

The winning goal gives them the league lead and keeps the team's unbeaten start to the Swedish women's championship intact.

Malmö tops the table with 10 points, ahead of Kristianstad, who suffered their first loss of the season, losing 2–3 to Brommapojkarna.
