Eskilstuna United DFF faced Umeå IK FF at Tunavallen in a match that turned out to be quite straightforward for the home team. Despite Umeå’s attempts to show themselves as tough opponents, it was Eskilstuna that got the game going first. After 37 minutes, Marija Banusic scored the first goal for the home team with an assist from Cajsa Åkerberg.
Eskilstuna continued to dominate the match and just before half-time, Banusic scored again, this time with an assist from Mimmi Larsson. The score was therefore 2-0 in favor of the home team at half-time.

After this, Eskilstuna also substituted Åkerberg for Frida Skogman in the 78th minute. Despite Umeå IK FF receiving two yellow cards that minute—one for Hanna Wayburne and one for Eskilstuna's Nathalie Björn—no new goals were scored during the match.
In the 86th minute, Nikolina Lundin Lundström was substituted for Alexandra Sandström for Umeå IK FF, but this did not help to ignite the play, and the match ended 2-0 in favor of the home team. Eskilstuna United DFF thus strengthens their position in 3rd place in the table, while Umeå IK FF remains in second to last place.
