Hammarby won the women's Swedish derby against AIK with 2–0.

Three points in a derby always mean extra much as a Hammarby supporter, says Ellen Wangerheim.

The first half looked set to be goalless for a long time. But right at the end, Hammarby's leading goal came – which was a gift from AIK goalkeeper Serina Backmark. Smilla Holmberg lifted a post that tunnelled Backmark and went into the goal.

A bitter end to the first half for AIK.

It feels bloody awful to concede such a goal. It's just a matter of going in and reloading and giving Serina a proper pep talk. It's never fun to get such a goal, said AIK captain Jennie Nordin to Viaplay.

"It's obviously nice"

It was all the more delightful in Hammarby after the first half. Captain Alice Carlsson to Viaplay:

We're pressing really well and playing on their half of the pitch for almost 45 minutes. So it's obviously nice to go in with a 1–0 lead.

Better AIK luck in the second half? Not quite.

The reigning champions Hammarby could extend their lead to 2–0. Substitute Ellen Wangerheim got herself forward on a Jonna Andersson post and nodded in "Bajen's" second of the day. A goal that became the match's last.

"Always means extra much"

The win was Hammarby's third in a row.

It's very nice. Three points in a derby always mean extra much as a Hammarby supporter, says Wangerheim to Viaplay.

Three more matches were played in the women's Swedish league on Sunday: Piteå defeated Djurgården with 1–0, Kristianstad won with 3–1 against Linköping, and the match between Vittsjö and Växjö was goalless.
