Tyresö faced Linköpings FC at home in front of 1,478 spectators on a sunny Saturday afternoon. Tyresö was leading the table ahead of the match while Linköping had not quite managed to gain momentum this season and was sitting in 7th place in the standings.
The match started evenly, with a high tempo from both teams. Linköping received an early yellow card in the 9th minute when Charlotte Rohlin was a bit too aggressive in a challenge. However, neither team managed to create any really dangerous scoring opportunities in the first half.
At halftime, Tyresö substituted in Kirsten Johanna Maria van de Ven, who would prove to be match-winning. Linköping made two substitutions in an attempt to regain control of their game.
The second half continued at about the same tempo as the first, but it was Tyresö that eventually managed to break through Linköping's defense. In the 78th minute, Linköping made a substitution, bringing in Stina Blackstenius, but it wasn’t enough to turn the match around.
In the 88th minute, it was instead Tyresö that took the lead through Kirsten Johanna Maria van de Ven, who scored a nice goal after a well-executed play on the left flank. Tyresö then took the opportunity to make two substitutions in the 84th minute to try to run down the clock.
However, things got even worse for Linköping when Christen Press made it 2-0 in the 90th minute following a beautiful pass from none other than Kirsten Johanna Maria van de Ven. This secured three points for Tyresö and kept them at the top of the league.
The match concluded with a yellow card for Marta Vieira da Silva in the 90th minute. Tyresö ultimately won 2-0, a result that was not illogical considering their dominance throughout the match.
