Before the series final, Linköping came with the regular starting eleven, while Rosengård was without its captain.

But if you're going to substitute as captain, you might as well do it in style.

In the 74th minute, Olivia Schough served Mia Persson who distinctly pushed in 1-0.

Earlier in the second half, Loreta Kullashi had missed a penalty for the home team after a tangled hand situation, and Linköping's Therese Simonsson burned a great opportunity from close range.

But there was only one goal at Malmö IP, and Rosengård thus drops out of the women's league table.

Since Häcken simultaneously beat Kristianstad 2–1 away from home, Rosengård now has five points down on the nearest competitor.
