Key details
BK Häcken delivered a commanding 6-0 victory against Brommapojkarna (BP) in an away Damallsvenskan match at Grimsta, consolidating their lead at the top of the league with 55 points, four points clear of Malmö FF as of October 19, 2025. Häcken scored three times in each half, beginning with Monica Jusu Bah’s early solo goal in the 7th minute. An own goal from BP followed shortly after a set piece, and Stine Sandbech added a third before halftime. The second half featured further goals from Anna Anvegård, Helena Sampaio, and Carly Wickenheiser, sealing the dominant scoreline.
However, Häcken's victory came at a cost. Pernille Sanvig, deputising for the injured Johanna Fossdalsa in central midfield, suffered a serious shoulder/back injury just ten minutes into the game after a hard tackle, forcing her to leave the pitch in tears. Helena Sampaio replaced her and contributed one of the second-half goals. Additionally, Carly Wickenheiser received a yellow card for a reckless tackle late in the game, resulting in a suspension for Häcken’s next match.
The defeat places Brommapojkarna precariously just two points above the relegation playoff zone, deepening their worries as the season advances.
Looking ahead, Häcken will next face Linköping at Bravida Arena on November 2, following a national team break. This match will be crucial as Häcken aims to maintain its title challenge despite injury and suspension setbacks.
This remarkable 6-0 win marks Häcken’s sixth consecutive triumph and reinforces their status as the frontrunners in Sweden’s top women's league, even as they contend with key player absences and disciplinary issues.
