Djurgården’s set of four straight wins was broken.
18-year-old Joanna Svedberg needed just five minutes on the field to score the decisive goal.
– It wasn’t what I expected, she says in Viaplay’s post-match broadcast.
Johanna Svedberg’s first damallsvenska goal was absolutely decisive for Linköping.
On Monday night, Ostgotaleget defeated Djurgården at home at Arena Linköping.
Thus, the host team broke the wing of the opponent Djurgarden with four consecutive victories.
In the score 1-0, Joanna Svedberg, who sat on the bench throughout the first half, was substituted 20 minutes before the end of the match.
Five minutes later, she saved three points for Linköping.
“Okay, I’m just shooting.”
After Stina Lennartsson ran free in the goal area, she found Svedberg who hit the ball into the far cross.
– It wasn’t what I was expecting but I saw the ball go into the penalty area so I thought maybe it was just a shot. It was really fun, says Svedberg himself in the Viaplay broadcast after the match.
The goal meant 2-0 for the home team and Djurgården chased after the reduction.
Finally, the ball found its way past Kagsa Anderson behind Linköping’s goal.
One entry reached Hayley Dowd who nodded her head 2-1, her seventh goal of the season.
But closer than that, Djurgarden, who was defeated for the first time since April 20, did not come.
Johanna Svedberg’s goal also means the home team climbed to third in the table behind Rosengård and Häcken.
