LINKOPING, May 15 (SW) - Goalless draws against the two newcomers is not the opening Linköping had wished for or even expected. Just as in the Jitex match, Linköping dominated and had a big advantage in possession and showed great play the first 20 minutes. But Bälinge had prepared themselves for defense, putting two defensive players in their midfield (Matinlassi and Sembrandt) and pulling back the defense line as far back as possible.

They were succesfull in their attempts to keep Linköping from getting into dangerous positions. Linköping showed, like before, that they have problems getting through a tight defense and the longer the match went on the more they opted for a long ball trying to find a forward behind the defense line. Josefine Öqvist tried to rip Bälinge's defense apart with ambitious runs forward, but was to alone. Öqvist commented after the match that she wasn't really worried over the two draws, but not scoring getting a problem for the team.
