The fence bounced back after Arsenal’s crushing in the Champions League last Thursday when it was 4-0 at the back.
– We were not satisfied with the result and were hungry for more. We said to each other: “now we go out and drive and show that we can recharge”, says the two-goal scorer Alice Bergström to Viaplay.
She scored a magnificent hit on her 2-0 goal.
– I felt that I got a good hit and it’s damn nice to see it sail in. When you play on the left wing, I have my right foot in: “now we try”, says Bergström, who put his foot forward and angled in 3-0 in the middle of the second half and was then replaced.
Confusion preceded Häcken’s 1-0
Häcken took the lead after quickly taking advantage of a confusion where Växjö did not understand that they had been called off for offside. The ball was quickly played to Tabitha Tindell who drifted deep and made it 1-0.
– They get a crappy goal and it’s really frustrating. I think they should move the ball back a couple of meters because they gain a few meters on it. Bryndis Nielsdottir thinks it’s our free kick, and we don’t have time to gather ourselves, says captain Emma Pennsäter.
Large unpaid protests followed.
It was a rule that slipped under the radar that was enforced.
– I had to learn a new rule. The judges were adamant and very pedagogically explained that it was changed three years ago. It is from there that she affects the game from which the free kick should be taken. It was awake by Häcken and not as awake by us, says Växjö’s coach Olof Unogård.
Rosengård won their match in Piteå 1-0 and took the 21st straight victory from the start of the series, an extended record.
