It was high-intensity at Skytteholms IP 1 when AIK faced Alingsås IF FF in a match that would determine who had what it took to secure three points. AIK was leading the table, while the pressure was on Alingsås, who were in third place before the match.
Right from the start, it was clear that a high tempo would characterize the game. Both teams held on to the ball and created several dangerous chances. The first half turned out to be an even contest where AIK had slightly more opportunities, but Alingsås IF FF remained solid in defense.
Then, wild cheers erupted at Skytteholms IP when AIK's Matilda Nildén scored the goal that would prove to be decisive. After 69 minutes of play, she pushed the ball into the net following a nice pass from Emelie Jansson, who had just come on to the field.
Alingsås IF FF tried to respond to AIK's opening goal, but things just didn't go their way. Johanna Barth and Parva Zarassi both received yellow cards in the first half, and even Fredrik Gustafsson, assistant coach of Alingsås IF FF, was cautioned for protests.
At the end of the match, Alingsås IF FF ramped up their pressure, but their frustration became apparent, with Tea Olin receiving a yellow card in the last minute of stoppage time for an illegal tackle.
