After the weekend's results, the gold battle is even hotter in the Damallsvenskan.

While Rosengård played goalless against Umeå, Gothenburg systematically defeated Piteå at home with 3-0.

A match where Gothenburg's skilled striker, Rebecka Blomqvist, became a two-goal shooter.

- Piteå defended well and were intense in the beginning.

We had to be a little patient, but once we started to find the surfaces, we got a goal before half time.

Then we get an early in the second and can control the match, roll a lot of ball and tire them out a bit.

It felt good, says Blomqvist about the victory.

What do you say about the tight position at the top of the table?

- It's tight and it's fun.

Then, of course, we wanted to lead, now we have to try to make sure we win our matches and hope that Rosengård loses in another match so that we have the chance to take that Swedish Championship gold.

But first and foremost focus on our own matches.

"At home we always want to win"

The meetings between Rosengård and Gothenburg this season ended with a points win with 4-1 in the Skåne team.

This after 1-1 in Gothenburg and clear 3-0 to FCR in Malmö.

- At home we always want to win.

But it is in the away match against them that we feel that we are not happy with our performance.

But there is not much to do about it now, says Blomqvist.

After finishing second in the table two years in a row, Gothenburg was ready to seriously challenge for the gold, says the 23-year-old Gothenburg striker.

- We feel stronger this year and it felt like we could really give ourselves the chance to take that Swedish Championship gold.

Now we are in the golden battle, even though we would have liked to have had it in our own hands.

It is exciting and an even series both at the top and bottom.

"Would be a redemptive feeling"

There are six rounds of the Damallsvenskan left.

Both Gothenburg and Rosengård will face both top and bottom teams.

But that particular detail does not think Blomqvist plays a role like this at the end of a season.

- There are many teams that have a lot to play for and who then pick out that little extra.

I think all matches will be very tough for all teams.

It's really important to be focused and keep up in these last matches.

Is it possible to put into words what a Swedish Championship gold would mean?

- It is difficult.

I have been here for six years, so for me and the club it had been an incredible and liberating feeling, it had been very wonderful.

A great rivalry has been built up between Gothenburg and Rosengård over the years, both of which have been at the top of the table.

Something that Rebecka Blomqvist thinks adds a lot to the series - at the same time as she and her team want to snap the Scanians on the nose.

- It belongs and I think it's fun.

There are two very good football teams and it is fun that we are at the top, but it is clear that we really want to beat them and are ready for it now, she concludes.
