Malva Larsson scores in stoppage time as IFK Norrköping beat Rosengård 2-1 in relegation battle

This week, IFK Norrköping fired head coach Stellan Carlsson in an attempt to save his job. It had an immediate effect. At home against fellow bottom team Rosengård, Malva Larsson scored the decisive 2-1 goal in the 95th minute.

The victory means that the women’s Swedish team’s second-place tally rises to 16 points - one point behind former major club Rosengård in the qualifying place.

Up to Växjö and Djurgården on safe ground, there is a two-point gap with seven games left to play.

With the winning goal, centre back Malva Larsson made amends for herself. In the 81st minute, she unfortunately headed the ball into her own net to make it 1-1.

Emma Engström gave IFK Norrköping the lead in the first half.
