It was a dominant MFF that in the snowstorm in Skellefteå took a well-deserved three-pointer against Sunnanå SK. Ema Paljevic and Mafalda Barbóz score goals for sky blue.
KEY EVENTS
1′ Kick-off at the Electrolux Home Arena.

24′ Paljevic is still alert, but her finish goes some way outside the goalkeeper’s left post.

50′ GOAL! Ema Paljevic scores our first goal in the Elitettan as she manages her second penalty kick of the match.
61′ GOAL! Mafalda Barbóz is carefully in front after a tangled corner and pokes in 2-0.
JONAS VALFRIDSSON AFTER THE MATCH
– Very nice, of course. It already looked better against Kalmar, but there we didn’t get dividends on our goal chances. Now we go up to extreme conditions and manage the match in a very good way. We are strong together and there is great joy in the team right now.
– We play a good defensive game where we really get hold of the recapture and create many chances based on that. In the second half, we are also significantly better offensively and the players start to relax, which allows us to control the game with the ball in a wiser way.
– We trust Ema [Paljevic] and her taking the second punishment also shows what mental strength she possesses.
