Kif Örebro made their intentions clear at home, beating Göteborg 5-1 in the nineteenth round of the Elitettan. The result leaves both sides level on forty-one points, though Örebro move into fourth place while Göteborg hold second. It was a match decided by moments, and the first of those came early.
Christina Rubensson opened the scoring in the sixteenth minute, and by then it was already clear that Göteborg had not travelled to make up the numbers. Linnéa Johansson doubled the lead just before the half-hour mark, and Rubensson added another before the break. The visitors pulled one back through R. Lapi in the thirty-second minute, but the momentum had shifted.
Örebro pushed on, and Markus Selling made it four in the forty-second minute. The break brought changes, with both managers bringing on fresh legs. Göteborg substituted A. Ursem and A. Lindqvist together in the forty-sixth minute, while Örebro responded with A. M. Astrom in the fifty-fifth.
The pattern continued. D. Pierre came on for Göteborg in the sixty-third minute, and C. Leffler joined the fray in the sixty-seventh. Örebro then brought on L. Johansson and E. Paljevic in the seventy-sixth minute, followed by V. Andersson and J. Walentowicz for Göteborg in the eighty-first. The yellow card for H. Gross-Benberg in the eighty-second minute did little to slow the hosts.
Rubensson completed her hat-trick in the ninety-fourth minute, capping a performance that said everything. Göteborg had shown they could respond, but they had been second to everything in this match. The result means the two sides remain level on points, though the table tells only half the story.
