It was a tight match between Eskilstuna United DFF and Kopparbergs/Göteborg FC at Tunavallen on Sunday evening, where both teams left the field undefeated with a final score of 0-0. The 1,650 spectators witnessed a game in which both teams had opportunities to score, but neither succeeded in finding the back of the net.
Eskilstuna's coach, Magnus Karlsson, was pleased with the team's performance despite the lack of goals. He highlighted the defense as a major reason for keeping a clean sheet against Göteborg: "We knew that Göteborg has an incredibly strong attacking line, so we focused on having solid defense, which I think we achieved."
The visiting team, Göteborg, also had chances to score but failed to outsmart the home team's goalkeeper, Emelie Lundberg. Coach Marcus Lantz, however, was not dissatisfied with the result and believed it was a fair draw: "Both teams played hard and tried to win the match. We also had a few chances, but it wasn't enough to determine the outcome today."
The match featured a total of four substitutions; two for each team. For the home team, Elin Rombing was substituted for Marija Banusic in the 57th minute, and later, Frida Skogman came on for Ingrid Schjelderup in the 62nd minute. For the away team, Nathalie Hoff Persson was replaced by Rebecka Blomqvist and Marika Bergman Lundin was substituted for Andrine Stolsmo Hegerberg, both in the 57th minute, while Adelina Engman came on for Anna Ahlstrand in the 79th minute. Additionally, Göteborg's Filippa Curmark received a yellow card in the 69th minute for a tackle.
