Yesterday, the pitch in Umeå was white with all the snow and therefore you could not play.

Today it was artificial grass green and playable.

Then visiting Kristianstad dominated from start to finish.

1-0 came after just over a quarter when Anna Welin nicely found Amanda Edgren.

It stood at half time and at the beginning of the second half Umeå had a chance to equalize, but Kristianstad goalkeeper Brett Maron made sure that the lead remained.

Expulsion for Umeå

Shortly afterwards, Edgren came free instead and then she was pulled down by Umeå's Sanna Kullberg.

It was irritating from both sides, but the result was a red card for Kullberg.

With one player less, it was really tough for Umeå.

Within a minute or so, striker Hailie Mace scored two goals for Kristianstad.

Both times she came very free and at the second Umeå goalkeeper Tove Enblom read the situation wrong.

4-0 did not even come ten minutes later and it is probably a candidate for this year's goal.

The 20-year-old Finnish Jutta Rantala fired a rock-hard shot from the left edge and it found its way into the crossbar.

Evenly at the bottom

Kristianstad is now third in the damallsvenska table, only two points behind second Rosengård.

Umeå is below the relegation line, but it is very even at the bottom.

On the same point, but before Umeå, is Piteå and within two points there are also Djurgården, Eskilstuna and Växjö.
