Three straight losses and 1-12 in goal difference. That was Linköping's result before the match against Uppsala. After a good start, the newcomers also had it tougher at the end.
Linköping grabbed the match quickly. Sofie Bredgård hit the ball hard on Uchenna Kanu who with a beautiful touch created space in the penalty area and sent in 1-0. It would take until the second half before Linköping found the nets again. In a flash, Alva Selrud got a golden opportunity to score her first goal in the damallsvenskan and Emma Holmgren stood for a big parade. On the return, Kanu was in front again and shot hard in the net to 2-0.
Lina Hurtig would then expand further. After Linköping won the ball high up, the national team midfielder finally got the chance. Hurtig made no problems and despite a late reduction, Linköping was able to secure three long-awaited points.
