Key details
Häcken has taken a commanding lead in the 2025 Damallsvenskan season by winning a crucial league-deciding match against close rivals Hammarby. Going into the clash, Häcken trailed Hammarby by just one point, but after a 2-0 victory, they now top the league with 52 points, holding a four-point advantage with only four matches remaining in the season.
The scoring was initiated by Tabby Tindell, who netted the first goal with a precise finish following an assist from Felicia Schröder. The lead was doubled soon after by Anna Anvegård, who impressed with a remarkable solo goal. Hammarby’s hopes to level the score were dashed when goalkeeper Jennifer Falk’s passing mistake offered Ellen Wangerheim a chance to score in the second half, but she failed to capitalize on it (ID 96382).
Wangerheim, Hammarby's key striker and the only natural forward left after Cathinka Tandberg's recent departure, is currently under intensified pressure. Despite this, she has maintained strong form, scoring 15 goals this season and recently achieving a hat-trick in the Europa Cup qualifiers. She emphasizes balancing her recovery and personal life to sustain her performance amid increased responsibility (ID 96124).
Häcken’s win places them in a strong position to clinch the Damallsvenskan title, while Hammarby must regroup swiftly as the season reaches its climax. Both teams remain intense competitors, highlighting the high stakes of the league’s final stages.
