At Älmevallen in Älmhult, the leaders of Division 2 Södra Götaland for women faced off against the bottom team Emmaboda IS.

However, Emmaboda IS held their ground well, and the match ended in a draw with a score of 0 - 0.
The match kicked off shortly after 14:00 on Saturday afternoon, and unfortunately, the audience was absent due to restrictions. Referee Johan Karlsson, along with assistants Benjamin Ferhatovic and Alexander Fransson Julle, were fully focused throughout the match.
In the second half, the game became more aggressive, and after 56 minutes of play, it was Shaida Dodkanlou from Emmaboda IS who received a warning after a tough challenge with an opponent. Seven minutes later, it was Saga Sthen from Älmhults IF who received a warning.
Despite several dangerous scoring opportunities from both teams, including a header off the crossbar from Älmhults IF's Anette Nilsson, the match ultimately ended goalless. Thus, Älmhults IF secured their league victory, while Emmaboda IS must begin preparing for the next season.
The match at Älmevallen was a well-played and intense contest that showcased the teamwork and determination both teams possessed. With an audience present, the match could have perhaps been even more exciting, but as it was, it became a tough and well-fought football match between two evenly matched teams.
