What was required was a victory and Växjö organized a victory. After 2-0 at home to Eskilstuna, Växjö is now ready for the 2021 damallsvenskan.

The bottom of the damallsvenska table is a veritable hornet’s nest. It has been clear for some time that Uppsala will leave, but it is not yet clear which team will accompany them.
A win against Eskilstuna was what was required for Växjö not to become that team. And they made sure they didn’t think too much about the uncertainty. The Smålanders claimed a 2-0 win after goals from Amanda Johnsson-Haahr and Nellie Karlsson.
– This is so cute. We have a really difficult first half where we don’t start our game. It is not possible to lie that it has been a turbulent season. It was a change of coach and it was a crown. I am very happy and proud to have solved this, says midfielder Jennie Nordin to Min boll.
Rogic suspended
Eskilstuna came into the game with a great break. Felicia Rogic, who scored two goals in the match against Djurgården in the last round and accounted for eleven goals in total this season, was suspended.
It was a goalless first half in which both teams had a hard time finding the right one. Only in the 59th minute did the first goal of the game arrive, a bit surprisingly.
Ria Öling ripped through Eskilstuna’s defense and sent the ball to Amanda Johnsson-Haahr, who tried to shoot from the penalty area and the ball hit the goal.
After that, the focus was on not losing the lead, but in the 85th minute they took a corner. Ria Öling sent the ball into the goal area where Nellie Karlsson was well placed and was able to send the 2-0 volley, with the help of a less good intervention from the goalkeeper. They then stayed away and made sure to secure the contract.
Kristianstad ready for the Champions League
Visiting Eskilstuna, in principle, has already secured a place at the damallsvenskan next season, when Djurgården and Umeå will score points when they meet on Sunday and have a real goal difference on their side.
Relegation-ready newcomer Uppsala suffered a major defeat against strong Kristianstad on Saturday, the match ending 4-1 for the visiting team. The victory means that the Scanians for the first time in the club’s history are ready for the Champions League matches.
– I’m sick and proud of the girls. Following the management objective, the matter is not discussed. We won fairly and scored several fantastic goals, says coach Elisabet Gunnarsdottír to Kristianstadsbladet.
Vittsjö and Örebro, who have been disconnected from the battles above and below for a while, also met on Saturday. The local team Vittsjö won big with 4-0.
