Finally, neither Aussie made the match card for BK Häcken‘s (Aivi Luik) narrow 4-3 home win over Vesna Milivojević‘s IFK Norrköping. Häcken did it the hard way, scoring twice after the 90th minute to claim the win from 3-2 down. Due to a hamstring complaint, Luik was also recently unavailable for the Matildas game against Mexico.
Norrköping posted team highlights from the game on their Instagram account.

As yet, no Aussies have signed up to compete in the 2024 Besta Deild Kvenna competition which kicks off April 22nd. If the situation changes, the Aussies in Nordic Football wrap will be sure to cover it!
