Vittsjö dismantled Jitex 5:1 in the second round of the Swedish Cup on Tuesday evening. The away side, who had drawn with Växhe on Sunday, showed no mercy from the opening whistle at their opponent's ground. Jitex, coming off a draw with Häcken II, found themselves chasing the game almost immediately.
Nellie Persson gave the home side a shock lead at the four-minute mark, catching Vittsjö sleeping. But the visitors responded quickly, with Persson—playing for the opposition—equalising before half-time. Thelma Alexandersson put Vittsjö ahead at sixty-four minutes, and the floodgates opened from there.
What followed was a procession of goals. Seven minutes apart, then four, then one—the visitors simply kept coming. By the ninetieth minute, the scoreboard read 5:1, though the action continued until the fourth minute of stoppage time. Jitex never really got back into a contest after that first thirty-five minutes.
The result ends Jitex's cup run and extends Vittsjö's momentum, following their recent 5:0 victory over Uppsala. For the hosts, it is a painful exit after a solid run in league play, including that impressive 4:1 win over Örebro Söder.
