FC Nordsjælland are the new Kvindeliga leaders after defeating AGF 2-1 at home. Winonah Heatley and Malia Steinmetz played from start to finish, with Heatley getting booked near the end of the first half. For AGF, Matilda McNamara got just over half an hour of game time off the bench, while Ally Green remained an unused substitute.

Round 2 of the Damallsvenskan was played over the last week.

Clare Polkinghorne and Amy Sayer started for Kristianstads DFF in their first home game against FC Rosengård. Sayer scored her team’s only goal and played 75 minutes, while Polkinghorne played the entire match. Rosengård went on to take the game 3-1.

Angie Beard was an unused substitute for Linköping FC as they drew 1-1 at home against BK Häcken. A hamstring complaint still prevents Aivi Luik from being listed on the Häcken team sheet.

 

Finally, Vesna Milivojević is yet to debut for IFK Norrköping after their 2-2 home draw against Djurgårdens IF, but as the below shows, perhaps that isn’t far away.
