Luleå SK hosted Lira BK at home in front of a relatively small crowd at Hertsö IP. The teams were in fifth and sixth place in the table, making it an important match for both sides. The referee for the evening was Isac Lundqvist, accompanied by his assistants Jan Erik Karlsson and Sebastian Nordgren-Lehto.

The match started evenly with both teams battling for initiative. After 36 minutes, the first goal came when Luleå's Femke Golverdingen found the back of the net, giving her team the lead. Luleå increased the pace after the goal and attempted to extend their lead, but Lira defended well and held firm.

However, at the beginning of the second half, the equalizer came. A Luleå defender made an unfortunate own goal, and Lira was suddenly back in the match. Luleå tried to respond immediately and created several dangerous opportunities, but Lira's goalkeeper made some excellent saves.

The match became increasingly heated, and the referee had to show the yellow card on two occasions, to Luleå's Alva Lindkvist and Alicia Sundbaum. With just eleven minutes remaining, Lira was awarded a free kick just outside Luleå's penalty area, and Emma Sundvall struck directly, putting the ball in the net and giving the away team the lead.

Luleå pushed everything forward in search of an equalizer, but Lira held strong at the back and won the match 2-1. A vital victory for the away team, while Luleå will have to seek redemption in upcoming matches.
