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.
