Crisis abroad but not on the field.
Eskilstuna United barked tonight as they beat PK Haken away.
National team goalkeeper Jennifer Falk stood in for a billboard photo when they took on their first loss of the year.
BK Hacken He is unbeaten after twelve rounds at damallsvenska this year. But in their 13th home game against financially stricken Eskilstuna United, where it was reported earlier today that the elite license is under threat, came the first loss of the year.
Jennifer Falk, who was yesterday part of Peter Gerhardsson’s EC team, stood in front of a board already after nine minutes of play. Elise Steenvik ran wide on the left side into the penalty area and from a tight angle sent the ball wide towards the goal.
In a strange way, the ball through Falk managed to make its way into the goal.
“I’m very happy to get her in, I’d say I tried with a difficult pole on the first deck but then we were a bit lucky because she dropped the ball so I was surprised to get her in,” the Norwegian tells Viaplay during the break.
‘frustrated patient’
At the start of the second half, Eskilstuna was about to stretch when the ball was on the goal line. Although Häcken was chasing an equaliser, they never got the ball and lost their first loss of the year.
Bad start for me, I don’t really know what’s going on. I try to take the ball but then it comes back and rolls towards the goal. It’s really frustrating, Jennifer Falk tells Viaplay about the goal.
BK Häcken is now seven points behind FC Rosengård who leads damallsvenskan.
