Match Story

The hosts started at a blistering pace. Within the first 10 minutes, Elfsborg had already created three excellent chances, and it was no surprise when they took the lead in the 13th minute. A sweeping move down the right flank ended with a low cross being turned in at the near post by the Elfsborg striker.

Umea IK Women equalised against the run of play midway through the first half, capitalising on a defensive mix-up to slot home from close range. However, that only spurred Elfsborg into greater intensity. By half-time, they had restored their lead through a powerful header from a corner, making it 2-1.

Second-Half Dominance

Elfsborg Women came out for the second period with renewed purpose. They added two more goals in the space of 10 minutes – a curling effort from outside the box and a tap-in after a goalmouth scramble – to put the game beyond doubt. Umea IK could not find a way back into the match, and Elfsborg cruised to a 4-1 victory.
