In Sunday's match between Vittsjö GIK and IK Uppsala Fotboll at Vittsjö IP A-plan, two top teams in the OBOS Damallsvenskan faced off. Despite the home team's higher position in the standings, it was visiting Uppsala that started with a slight advantage in play. However, just six minutes in, the home team struck through Hanna Ekengren, who scored with a header after a beautiful assist from Charlotte Grant.

Uppsala continued to create chances but could not capitalize. The home team came close to extending their lead on several occasions, but Uppsala's goalkeeper stood firm. At halftime, Vittsjö made a change in midfield, with Sura Yekka replacing Charlotte Grant.

The second half began with Uppsala continuing to seek an equalizer, but Vittsjö defended well. After nearly an hour of play, Vittsjö midfielder Katrina-Lee Gorry received a yellow card for a tough tackle.

Vittsjö made two more substitutions, while Uppsala only made one. However, this did not help the visitors, who were unable to catch up to the home team's lead. Vittsjö's goalkeeper remained solid and saved several dangerous situations.

In the final minutes, Uppsala attempted to push forward, and one of their players received a yellow card for a hard challenge. However, it was too late for the visitors to level the match, and the game ended 1-0 in favor of the home team. With this victory, Vittsjö secured an important win and climbed to seventh place in the standings, while Uppsala remained at the bottom in twelfth place.
