Skara Women defeated Karlstad Women 47:17 in the Sweden Cup on 23 August 2026. The home side had already proven their strength earlier in the month, winning 40:15 away to Karlstad on 18 August. By then, Skara were sitting top of their league with three wins from three games.
And here's the thing about this result — it wasn't close from the start. Skara have been scoring freely all season: 40:15, 34:19, 38:26, 24:19. Karlstad's only recent fixture on record was that earlier 40:15 defeat at Skara's ground.
To be fair, the home team's position tells its own story. Three games, three victories, six points, and they lead the table. That kind of record doesn't happen by accident.
The goal difference speaks louder than most statistics. Skara's three matches have produced a combined difference of plus forty-one goals. Karlstad, by contrast, have faced two heavy defeats without a positive result to show for it.
By then, the Swedish Cup tie was essentially decided. When a team wins 47:17, they aren't just winning — they are controlling the tie and sending a message. The clean-sheet run came to an end for Skara, but not because Karlstad threatened.
The result keeps Skara on a good run and extends their lead at the top. Karlstad have now lost both encounters this season, and the gap between the sides is wider than the scoreline suggests.
