FC Rosengård became cup champion after a controversial ‘ghost goal’.
In the league final against Linköpings FC, they conceded a similar goal in the last minutes.
– It’s good that he did not become a decisive target, says Rosengard’s Gudrun Arnardottir.
Was the ball over the goal line or not?
That was the important question after the cup final between Rosengård and Häcken last week.
Häcken’s players were furious after agreeing to Stefanie Sanders’ controversial goal in extra time which meant Rosengård became champion.

In Friday’s series finale at damallsvenskan, it was Rosengård’s turn to face a controversial setback.
Linköping’s Amalie Vansgaard was reduced to 3-4 in the last minute after a ball that danced at the goal line was judged to be inside.
– It’s hard to tell if he’s inside or not. But I trust the verdict and linear verdict, she has the best angle. I run at full speed so I have a hard time seeing it from my vantage point, says Vansgaard.
“It’s good that it didn’t become decisive.”
Gudrun Arnardottir of Rosengård is also confident that the judge made the right decision.
– I think he was a little unlucky. But the judge said he was inside and then inside, she said.
What did you see from your position?
– I focus on the fact that Tegan (Mika, goalkeeper, editor’s note) is on her, but it’s good that she didn’t become a critical target.
In injury time, the shooting league leaders Vansgaard had a chance to draw 4-4, but the shot went at Bergavellen.
– The Dane says, of course, that it sucks to go straight outside.
The 4-3 win means Rosengård leads the series by five points, ahead of Linköping.
