31-year-old Emmi Alanen sent in the lead goal in the 24th minute.
The full hit was match-deciding when Kristianstad beat the reigning Swedish champions Rosengård 1–0.
- It's great that we got the win, Alanen tells C More and continues:
- We knew we would have very good chances to win the match.
It worked out today.
Last year, Kristianstad finished in fourth place in the women's league.
Loreta Kullashi gives her view on why Rosengård failed to win.
- It feels like we are the better team.
So it's sad.
We have more modes to set.
It feels too damn good, she says.
Last year's third place Linköping also plays in the same cup group.
They won their first match against Alingsås by a whopping 7–0.
