Jitex Women fell to Alingsås Women by a 1:2 scoreline on Saturday evening in the Elitettan regular season, round 15. The match took place on 22 August 2026 and proved to be a contest decided in the second half. Both sides entered the game looking to steady their campaigns, though the result shifted the balance in their favour.
The hosts started with intent and took the lead in the 47th minute, breaking the deadlock before the interval. It was a goal that gave Jitex confidence and suggested they might control the tempo for the remainder of the afternoon. To be fair, Alingsås never looked entirely rattled, though they would need to respond before the break ended.
And here's the thing about the 60th minute — an own goal turned the match on its head. Jitex had been comfortable enough to believe they were heading for points, but that moment pulled the rug out from under them. The visitors suddenly found themselves ahead without needing to create much themselves.
Alingsås then pushed further when H. Savhult added a second in the 69th minute, putting the result beyond doubt. M. Sipilainen came on as a substitute in the 54th minute, a change that seemed designed to shore up the defence rather than chase more goals. By then the game had settled into a pattern the visitors could manage.
The result leaves Jitex in 10th place with 19 points from 16 games, while Alingsås remain 11th on 15 points. Both sides had played the same number of matches, so the gap between them narrowed rather than expanded. Jitex still have work to do if they want to climb the table, and Alingsås will hope this win gives them momentum.
