Jitex Women claimed a comfortable 4-0 win over Ekjö in the first round of the Swedish Cup on Tuesday. The match took place on August 11th, 2026 and ended with the visitors running out comfortable winners. Ekjö, who had not played since August 2021 when they lost 3-0 to Göteborg, found themselves thoroughly outplayed.
Without minute-by-minute details available, the margin of victory speaks for itself. Four goals without reply suggests a team with something to prove arrived at an unfamiliar opponent. By then, the result was never in doubt.
Jitex come into this fixture in decent form. They beat Hacken II 1-0 on August 7th, followed by a 1-0 victory over Gamla Upsala Women on August 2nd. Before that, a 3-2 win against Erebros Söder Women showed they could handle tight matches. They have hit a wall in the cup so far, but this performance suggests otherwise.
Ekjö's last competitive appearance came nearly five years ago. A 0-3 defeat to Göteborg is the only data point available for their recent record. To face a side that has played five matches in the past two months must have been a harsh reality check.
The victory takes Jitex through to the next round of the competition. Ekjö's campaign ends without a goal scored, though there is little more to say about their position beyond that. The gap between the two sides was evident from the start.
