H65 Höör defeated Eslövs Damer 40-29 in the Swedish Cup on Monday evening. The away side took all three points from the fixture, extending their unbeaten run to three games while the hosts picked up a heavy defeat at home.
Nothing in the recent record suggested such a result. Eslövs Damer had lost both of their previous matches shown, falling 22-28 and 25-30 to Dropp Halmstad in April. H65 Höör's last five outings were mixed, with wins over Karlskrona and Boden Handboll IF Women offset by three defeats to IK Sävehof.
The visitors were already top of the standings before kick-off, sitting on six points from three wins. They kept that position after the cup match, with the 11-goal margin adding weight to their position at the summit.
Eslövs Damer's record against Dropp Halmstad in April offered little comfort. They lost both encounters by similar margins and were now facing a side that had only lost two of their last five games, including a trip to Karlskrona where they won 34-29.
The result leaves H65 Höör still unbeaten in three league games. Eslövs Damer's two losses in April stand as their most recent results, and this cup defeat adds to their difficulties.
