With only two minutes remaining, Eskilstuna prepared to close out the match with a comfortable victory. However, Djurgården fought until the very end and managed to score a consolation goal by Johanna Rytting Kaneryd in the fourth minute of stoppage time. This goal came too late, though, as the match ended 2-1 in favor of Eskilstuna United DFF.
After this match, Eskilstuna United DFF is now in third place in the table, while Djurgårdens IF FF sits in tenth place. It was a well-played match from both teams, but Eskilstuna once again demonstrated that they are a tough contender in the Damallsvenskan.
