The critics thought that Frölunda's women's initiative started too late. Three years later, the club has taken its first national championship gold. Everyone has really believed in this from the start, says superstar Michelle Karvinen.
SportsFrom start to SM gold in three seasons. Frölunda's ladies defeated the top team Luleå in three straight matches and secured a historic gold via 3–2 in front of a record audience. It's impossible to describe. It's a dream that comes true, says team captain Hanna Olsson.
SportsFrölunda has one hand on the championship title for the first time in the club's history after 2–1 on Friday, and 2–0 in matches. But it has not been a fair final series, thinks Luleå's Savannah Norcross. It's everyone against us, even the referees, she says in SVT.
SportsFirst, Luleå goalkeeper Sara Grahn was knocked out and forced to leave. Then Frölunda's Michelle Karvinen decided – and gave the Gothenburg team a dream start to the National Championship final.
SportsFrölunda is in its first National Championship final on the women's side. It was a win in the fifth and decisive semifinal over Brynäs with 5–2. Now, giant Luleå awaits in the final series.
SportsNo luck for a continuation – but Luleå's goalkeeper Frida Axell won and kept a clean sheet despite the negative message. It's always fun to keep a clean sheet, she says to TV4 Play after the 3–0 win over Djurgården.
