It was Umeå talent Lisa Björk who made sure that the home team went into the half-time break at Umeå Energi Arena with a 2-0 lead.

On his own, the 17-year-old arranged 1-0 in the seventh minute - and just over half an hour later also 2-0.

3-0 to Umeå then came on a penalty after 63 minutes.

In the sunshine, Sarah Mellouk stepped forward and put the shot next to the left post.

Sabrina D'Angelo of Vittsjömålet threw himself on the ball.

"Well-deserved victory"

With ten minutes left, last year's shooting league winner in the elite, Henna Honkanen (22 goals in 25 matches), arrived and extended the Umeå lead to 4-0.

- It's fun that we get dividends on the chances we create.

We play a game that we want to play, as we did all last year, says Mellouk in Viaplay.

- At this level, we need to set our chances.

But it is a well-deserved victory, she continues.

Vittsjö was the team that had the most ball possession - and the most chances on goal.

But once it came to a conclusion, New Zealand's Erin Nayler was in the way.

The 29-year-old now kept her first zero since she joined the team before the season.

Umeå started the season by crossing against Häcken at home in the premiere (1-1), to later be defeated by Brommapojkarna at Grimsta IP (0-3).

"We look tired"

Vittsjö, with two crosses since before (1-1 against both Linköping and Rosengård) and now also a loss, must continue to wait for the season's first three points.

- They have four chances and score four goals, says Vittsjö defender Sandra Adolfsson in Viaplay after the match.

- We're not there today.

We look tired.

We are tired both in thought and in our legs.

She continues:

- One can only hope that it is the first and last match that we lose with these numbers.

Umeå was relegated to the elite after becoming eleventh in the damallsvenskan 2020, but bounced back to this season.

- When we went up last we also had a very good team, which we have now too, but we have had to build on it, maybe not for a long time, but because we have had it in our heads all last year, that we would take the step up, so we are a little more mentally prepared than we were last time, says Sarah Mellouk.

The club played in the damallsvenskan between 1998 and 2016 and became Swedish champions seven times, before being in the elite for three seasons (2017-2019).
