Hammarby came into play after five straight victories in the damallsvenskan. And also had a winning position at Kanalplan in Stockholm in the first half.
A few minutes before the half-time break, Emilia Larsson made sure to arrange a penalty for the home team. But Emma Jansson’s penalty was saved by Häcken goalkeeper Jennifer Falk, who also took the rebound.
Prior to that, Sweden’s European Championship goalkeeper had received medical supervision of his left leg, but was able to get up and continue. She also received medical help at the end.
The hedge made two successful change at half time. Marika Bergman Lundin and Andrine Stolsmo Hegerberg came in. The two only needed seven to eight minutes on the field to decide the match.
Bergman Lundin put 1-0 in the 52nd minute with a rock hard shot in the crossbar. A minute later, Stolsmo Hegerberg was able to score 2-0.
Hammarby reduced six minutes into extra time when a long ball reached Matilda Vinberg who ran free and hit the ball in goal.
For Häcken, the victory was very welcome after losing the last two matches in the damallsvenskan, the first two losses of the year. Häcken is still in fourth place in the table, but now only one point behind third Kristianstad who, however, has one match less played.
After the 15th round, the damallsvenskan takes a nearly two-month break due to the European Championships in England in July.
