Enskede Women lost 1:2 to Kif Örebro DFF in the Elitettan's regular season, a result that leaves the hosts adrift while the visitors maintain their challenge for promotion. The match, played on 26 September 2026, saw Enskede take the lead early before Kif turned it around after the break. To be fair, the visitors had been in good form, winning five of their last six outings before this defeat of theirs against AIK.
The turning point came at the hour mark when Enskede took a surprise lead. An own goal at 63' found its way into the net, and then J. Mattsson added a second for Kif just a minute later. And here's the thing — Enskede's advantage lasted barely a moment before the visitors seized control of the game.
Both sides made changes in the second half, with Enskede bringing on I. Gagnfors and D. Pierre at 54', while Kif responded with I. Hanna and J. Mattsson's replacement at 70' and 78'. The match grew tighter as the clock ran down, and A. Frank picked up a yellow card at 84' as tensions rose. H. Gross-Benberg came on for Kif in stoppage time.
W. Dahlgren scored for Enskede in the 91st minute, ending a barren spell for the home side, but the goal came too late to salvage anything from the contest. The visitors' resilience was on display — they had been beaten 2:0 by AIK just four days prior, yet they responded with character here.
The result keeps Kif Örebro DFF in second place with 44 points from 20 games, while Enskede remain in 11th with 19 points. By then, the hosts had suffered their 11th defeat of the campaign, and the gap between the two sides in the table had grown wider. The visitors can spring a surprise in the final weeks if they maintain this level of consistency.
