Finnish Olivia Ulenius, who will turn 18 later in April, was recruited to Djurgården from Åland United before this season.

Against Vittsjö, she started on the bench, but was substituted in in the 63rd minute. Five minutes later, Ulenius scored the winning goal, 2–1, in the net.

She is young and promising and has enormous potential. It's fantastic to see how she comes in and just does her thing, says team captain Therese Åsland to Viaplay.

She was proud of the team's performance at Vittsjö IP.

Today we show fighting spirit, we keep fighting and it's not easy to play football on this grass pitch. Then you just have to like the situation, says the Norwegian.

In a stuttering table, Djurgården stands on ten points after four matches and tops the table at least for a day.

Hammarby, with full points after three matches, will retake the league lead with at least one point in the Easter weekend derby away against BP.
