Hammarby secured a 2:1 victory over AIK in the Damallsvenskan's nineteenth round, played on 19 September 2026. The result keeps the visitors in second place on 47 points while AIK remain fourth with 31. By then, the match had already shown its pattern: Hammarby controlling possession but AIK making their moments count.
Haruna Tabata opened the scoring for the hosts in the fifth minute, a strike that caught the visitors off-guard. Daniella Famili responded quickly, equalising eleven minutes in. To be fair, both goals came in the opening spell, and neither side could establish real control after that.
Hammarby dominated the numbers. They recorded 125 attacks against 92, held 60 per cent possession, and registered eight shots on target to AIK's four. Yet the visitors only converted two of those attempts. And here's the thing — the statistics suggest a comfortable win, but the match told a different story.
Three yellow cards were issued during the contest. Stina Lennartsson and Mathilde Janzen both went off the bench and into trouble, while Matilda Plan received a booking before being substituted in the sixty-fifth minute. The players tried to keep things tight, but the intensity showed in the cards.
Hammarby made the most changes, bringing on Filippa Curmark at half-time, then Svea Rehnberg and Vilde Hasund in the sixty-second minute. Nova Selin and Daniella Famili came together off the bench for AIK in the seventy-eighth, while Mathilde Janzen and Elin Sorum Ahgren were the last pair to leave the pitch.
The result matters for both sides. Hammarby close the gap on the leaders while extending their unbeaten run, having won three of their last four league games. AIK's recent form has been mixed, with wins against Piteå and a draw with Eskilstuna United among their last five results.
