In the Stockholm exchange between Djurgården and AIK, the game was even more evenly seen. But then Djurgården showed how important it is with efficiency, and won with clear 5-1.

Already in the second minute came 2-0, and five minutes later Katerina Mrazova punctured the match with 3-0 which Brynäs eventually won 4-0.
