Still hard for AIK in Damallsvenskan.
Despite the change of coach this week, Jumbo lost tonight’s match to Eskilstuna, 1-0.
We created more chances than we did all season, says AIK’s Remy Simsen.
After picking a chaotic start to the season AIK To make changes to the leadership side. Sporting director Anne Makinen, coach Maigo Rutsalainen and assistant coach Scott Swinston were fired, as the team started with three points in seven games.
Instead, the main responsibility was handed to Jesper Björk and Nebojsa Novakovic – and the first challenge awaited tonight, against Eskilstuna away.
The beginning will be difficult for Gnagit. After 17 minutes, Elise Stenevik sent the ball from a free kick into the penalty area. MIKA-Majasaari in the AIK goal tried to stop the ball, but did not manage to reach a sufficient distance.
After that, the visiting team had a hard time creating equalizing chances – until the 92nd minute. Remy Simsen was free in front of goal, but the striker’s shot was saved by Eskilstuna goalkeeper Katie Frain. Shortly thereafter, Matilda Nelden fires a controlled bullet, and Phryne has to contend with a new race.
Then Eskilstuna managed to postpone and win 1-0.
– We are disappointed. Leaving the target in a stationary position is disappointing. But we had a tough week, and I think we showed a lot of character today. We created more chances than we did all season. I hope we can continue to work in this way, because then I think the goals and points will come, Siemsen tells Viaplay.
