Two games in and Kristianstads DFF have already forced Swedish women's football to take notice. Nik Chamberlain's side arrived into the 2026 OBOS Damallsvenskan as a quiet mid-table presence; they leave this opening fortnight sitting alone at the summit with six points, seven goals scored, and two convincing wins over opponents who were expected to be better than them. AIK meanwhile have matched that perfect record through a very different route, grinding late drama out of trips to both Norrköping and Rosengård. And Hammarby, still carrying the momentum of that opening-day blitz of Rosengård, made it two wins from two at Grimsta IP on Monday.
Kristianstads DFF 4-1 Djurgårdens IF
Alice Egnér opened the scoring in the sixth minute and Kristianstad barely looked back. Urara Watanabe levelled for a Djurgården side still finding their footing under Willie Kirk, but Linda Lif Boama changed the match completely before the break. The Icelander, arriving from Vikingur in the summer, converted a penalty to restore the lead and then added a second from close range moments into the second half after Viktoria Persson's forward run pulled the visiting defence apart. Filippa Andersson Widén drove home a fourth in the 75th minute to finish the job.
"We played a good match. Four goals is good, we were clinical on our chances." [PARAPHRASE, source: Viaplay via Fotbollskanalen] Andersson Widén told the broadcasters afterwards. The result reflects exactly what Chamberlain, who spent a decade in Iceland coaching Þróttur and Breidablik, has brought to the club — a direct, structured, relentless attacking intent that simply wore Djurgården down. Kirk's side finished with five goals conceded in their opening two fixtures. There is work ahead.
FC Rosengård 1-2 AIK
Rosengård led at half-time. Molly Johansson had given the home side the lead in the 24th minute and the Malmö IP crowd dared to believe this would be the moment the club's troubled new chapter finally got its first win on the board. AIK had other plans entirely.
Substitute Ida Björnberg equalised with eight minutes remaining, and when the match looked headed for a share of the points, substitute Olivia Garcia struck in the 90th minute to complete one of the weekend's most dramatic reversals. Six points from six for AIK, who have now scored late winners in back-to-back league fixtures and look like a team that simply refuses to accept a bad result. For Rosengård, zero points from two home games and both ending in defeat, the early pressure under new co-owners Crux Football is already mounting. "We dominated for 60 to 65 minutes. The last 30 was not good enough," captain Emma Pennsäter told Viaplay afterwards. [PARAPHRASE, source: Fotbollskanalen]
IF Brommapojkarna 0-3 Hammarby IF
Hammarby need no encouragement. Gudrún Arnardóttir opened the scoring inside five minutes at Grimsta IP and Mari Nyhagen's brace either side of half-time at 45 and 48 minutes killed the contest before Brommapojkarna could find an answer. Martin Sjögren's side have now scored six goals and conceded one across their opening two fixtures, and carry the kind of attacking assurance that makes them genuine title contenders regardless of the early table. For Brommapojkarna, back in the top flight after last season's survival playoff, two games, two defeats, and no goals scored is a deeply uncomfortable start.
Player of the Day Shortlist
Linda Lif Boama (Kristianstads DFF) — A penalty and a second-half strike to make it three goals across two matches. Chamberlain's system runs through her directness and pressing intelligence, and she is already looking like one of the division's shrewdest summer arrivals. The former Vikingur forward belongs at this level.
Olivia Garcia (AIK) — Came off the bench in Malmö, scored the winner in the 90th minute. That kind of composure and timing when the pressure is highest is exactly what separates squads from teams. Two games in and AIK look like a team built to win ugly when the occasion demands.
Mari Nyhagen (Hammarby IF) — Two goals in the space of three minutes across half-time. The finish was not fortunate, it was ruthless — exactly the kind of instinct that defines a side with genuine ambitions.
Around the League
Vittsjö GIK 1-2 BK Häcken — The champions made it six points from six through a measured away performance. Sara Schröder converted a penalty in the 18th minute and Anna Anvegård added a second before the half-hour. Sandra Lynn pulled one back for Vittsjö in the 81st but Häcken held on. The defending champions and Kristianstad are the only sides with perfect records through two games.
IFK Norrköping 1-1 Malmö FF — Newly-promoted Malmö drop their first points after Izzy D'Aquila's first-half opener was cancelled out by Emma Engström's second-half equaliser. Norrköping earn a deserved point from an encouraging display at home.
IK Uppsala 0-0 Piteå IF
Växjö DFF 3-0 Eskilstuna United
