Rosengård defeated Häcken and regained the top spot in the Women’s League.
Caroline Seeger’s replacement, Rebecca Knack, scored again and earned huge acclaim.
– She’s doing a great job, says expert Petronella Eckroth on TV6.
Sweden’s champion Rosengard may have been feeling a little anxious after the EC stop. Team captain Caroline Seeger had surgery on her heel and Rosengård lost the restart against Piteå 2–1. In addition, superstar Jelena Kankovic was sold to Chelsea.
However, Wednesday night may have cleared some question marks for Rosengard and coach Renee Sligers.
Knack’s top scorer from corner kicks
Sligers chose to move to Rebecca Knack in the central midfield in the first match against Haken and replaced German Caroline Seeger with flying colors. Knack was the top scorer in the tenth minute when he headed it 1-0 from a corner kick.
– I felt I had space and the ball was perfect, Knack said on TV6 in the first half.
Knack, who scored for the second game in a row, won huge acclaim at TV6 studio.
– I think she’s doing a great job, says expert Petronella Eckroth.
She also praised Kanak for the way she replaced Seeger.
– That’s really a player taking responsibility this half. She moved into a defensive midfield and did an excellent job.
Fellow expert Bar Lagerstrom praised Rebecca Knack and the option to move her up in the plan.
The coach, Rebecca Knaak’s position and first half is incredibly impressive, he says on TV6.
Leading the women’s league
The second goal in the match was scored by Olivia Shaw after a counterattack in the 39th minute, then the second half came without goals.
Rosengard won the match 2-0 and thus regained the top spot in the Women’s League from Linköping. Rosengård leads the table by two points before the end of the series on Sunday.
For Häcken, the situation is only getting worse. The battle for gold is further away from the team, which is now 10 points behind Rosengård in fourth.
