Piteå climbs after three important points against Umeå

At Umeå Energi arena, it was the visitors who led the game in the first half, but the lead goal did not come until the 40th minute.

Hana Kerner grabbed the ball in Umeå's half and initiated an attack that ended in the post - but the ball was caught directly by Josefin Johansson, who could easily scoop in 1-0 without Erin Nayler in the goal, who threw herself at the first ball, having a chance to intervene.

- That was nice.

Above all, it is important for the match that we score a goal here in the first half, says Josefin Johansson to Viaplay during the break.

Then Piteå had got their own game, she explains, which with the complete hit was noted for her third women's Swedish goal this season.

- We find it more and more.

It was a bit stressful perhaps at first, while we knew it would be a fight here at the beginning.

In the second half, Umeå was allowed to get more into the match, but an equalizer was never close.

With the victory, Piteå moves up to sixth place in the table, four points behind fifth place Hammarby, while Umeå is in 13th place with nine recorded points in total.
