Piteå 2:0 Växjö: Damallsvenskan Match Result

Match report

Piteå beat Växjö 2-0 in the Damallsvenskan regular season match on 5 September. The result keeps the hosts eighth with 22 points while Växjö remain 11th on 17 points. Both sides had played 17 games by then.

Sharon Sampson opened the scoring in the 27th minute. Asla Johannesen double the lead a few minutes later, the ball in the net in the 40th minute. Between the two goals Piteå kept knocking on the door, winning nine corners to Växjö's two.

By then the match had settled into a rhythm the hosts controlled. They finished with 58 per cent possession and 19 shots—nine on target, ten off. Växjö managed only three attempts, two on target, and had to deal with two yellow cards, one each to Helmi Raijas in the 51st minute and Tilda Sanden in the 85th.

And here's the thing about matches like this: the statistics tell you one story while the result tells another. Piteå created plenty but couldn't blow the game open until the early stages. Växjö held their nerve for the first half but couldn't find a way back into it.

The visitors made changes to try and shift the game. Elvira Hammarback came on in the 64th minute, followed by Selina Henriksson and Iman Amirah Ali in the 67th. Alexandra Larsson and Julia Olsson were brought together for Piteå in the 77th minute.

The three points mean Piteå extend their gap over Växjö to five points. The hosts had drawn 1-1 with Brommapojkarna on 30 August and lost 0-5 to Hammarbý two weeks earlier, so this was a steadier outing than recent memory suggests.
