The key players Nathalie Hagman and Clara Lerby each scored seven goals. And all outfield players scored goals in the match in Karlskrona. Among them, debutant Johanna Östblom (3) and comebacking Melissa Petrén (4).
It was wonderful and fun, and it felt good, says Petrén to SVT, who has not been part of the national team for 2.5 years after becoming a twin mother.
I came here with great self-confidence, and despite it being a long time ago, it's still there.
Nothing suggests that Kosovo will be able to turn the tables in the return match at home on Sunday.
Then the development players will get the chance, says Tomas Axnér to SVT.
He will let the five players who will play in the Champions League next week skip the away match in Kosovo.
The winner of the double match will qualify for the World Championship in Germany and the Netherlands on November 29-December 14.
Before the match, Johanna Bundsen, 33, received the award for being named player of the year. It is the first time since 2005 that a goalkeeper has received the award. Then it was Skövde's Madeleine Gustafsson.
Bundsen is considered one of the world's best goalkeepers. This summer, she had the most saves of all Olympic goalkeepers, and she leads the save league in the Champions League with her Ludwigsburg.
