Key details
In a compelling showcase on September 27, 2025, Häcken secured a 5-2 victory over AIK, with 18-year-old Felicia Schröder shining by scoring two pivotal goals. The match began with a setback for Häcken when AIK's Villemo Dahlqvist opened the scoring early on. However, Schröder's contributions turned the tide after she equalized just before halftime, taking advantage of a well-placed pass from Tabby Tindell.
Tony Gustavsson, the newly appointed head coach of the Swedish national team, attended the match and was effusive in his praise for Schröder, stating, "When you give her half a meter, it smashes in." After an initial second-half penalty allowed AIK to regain the lead, Häcken responded with a powerful performance, resulting in goals from Anna Anvegård and another by Schröder, who has now amassed a league-leading total of 27 goals this season.
This victory positions Häcken at the top of the Damallsvenskan standings, one point ahead of Hammarby and three points clear of Malmö FF (MFF), although they have played one more match than their rivals. Following the match, Schröder expressed hopes of being selected for the upcoming Nations League semifinals against Spain in late October, having been overlooked for the previous European Championship. Unfortunately, the game also witnessed a potential injury for Johanna Fossdalsá Sørensen, adding a noteworthy point of concern for Häcken moving forward.
