Rosengard lost 2-1 away to Betio in the Women’s League

First game after the EC break.

Then league leaders Rosengård suffered a surprise away loss to Piteå.

Josephine Johansson scored the decisive goal 2-1 in the 70th minute.

Rosengård went to Norrbotten without a single loss in the Allsvenskan all year.

But Piteå made sure to put an end to that streak.

In the 70th minute, Ronja Aronson hit a cross from a free kick by Josephine Johansson into the net.

He will prove to be the winning goal.

Previously, Rosengård managed to come back from a first-half deficit.

Katrina Gilo gave the hosts the lead in the 11th minute when she was cleared and rolled 1-0.

But with just over half an hour of play, Rebecca netted Kanna a tie in the corner – after a controversial situation.

‘It should have been a free kick’

Betio goalkeeper Amanda McGlynn tripped Rosengard’s player in the penalty area, but the referee chose not to award a free kick.

– Sure, not a lot of friction, but it irritates the goalkeeper on the way out. A small touch causes McGlynn to lose his position. I think it should be a free kick, says expert Bar Lagerstrom on Viaplay’s broadcast.

In the end, Piteå still had to celebrate three points. This is the first time the team has been able to defeat Rosengård at Allsvenskan.

Rosengård’s top eleven included Jessica Wake, who returned after her pregnancy. The defensive veteran hasn’t played since last April.

At the same time, star midfielder Jelena Kankovic, who according to information from the Sportbladet website is ready for Chelsea, has disappeared. She is expected to be in London this week to complete the move.
