BK Häcken Women produced a ruthless away performance on 26 September 2026, dismantling IFK Norrköping DFK Women 6-0 in the Damallsvenskan. The victory sends a clear message to the rest of the title contenders, while Norrköping are left to reflect on a chastening evening at the PlatinumCars Arena.

Match Overview

From the first whistle, Häcken imposed their will on the contest. The visitors pressed high, moved the ball quickly through midfield, and repeatedly exposed Norrköping’s back line with runs in behind. Norrköping, who had hoped to use home advantage to climb away from the lower reaches of the table, were simply overwhelmed by the pace and precision of Häcken’s attacking play.

By halftime the game was effectively decided. Häcken had already established a three-goal cushion, and the second half became a demonstration of their clinical finishing. Norrköping’s goalkeeper was kept busy throughout, making several saves to prevent an even heavier defeat, but there was little she could do about the quality of the finishing on display.

Key Moments

• 12th minute: Anna Anvegård opens the scoring with a low drive into the bottom corner after a slick passing move.
• 24th minute: Stine Larsen doubles the lead, heading home a pinpoint cross from the right.
• 39th minute: Filippa Curmark adds a third with a curling effort from the edge of the box.
• 55th minute: Anvegård converts a penalty after a foul on Larsen, making it 4-0.
• 72nd minute: Substitute Paula Jøsendal scores just minutes after coming on, finishing a rapid counter-attack.
• 88th minute: Felicia Schröder completes the rout with a composed finish in the closing stages.

Tactical Breakdown

Häcken lined up in a 4-3-3 that became a 4-2-3-1 when defending, with the front three pressing aggressively. Norrköping attempted to play out from the back but were repeatedly forced into long balls, which Häcken’s centre-backs dealt with comfortably. The midfield trio of Curmark, Jøsendal, and Elin Rubensson controlled the tempo, winning second balls and launching attacks with precision.

Norrköping’s shape was a 4-4-2, but the two banks of four were stretched horizontally and vertically. The full-backs were caught too high up the pitch on several occasions, leaving acres of space for Häcken’s wide forwards to exploit. When Norrköping did manage to get forward, their attacks were isolated and easily snuffed out.

Standout Performers

Anna Anvegård was the undisputed player of the match, scoring twice and constantly threatening with her movement. Stine Larsen was a constant menace in the air, while Filippa Curmark dictated play from midfield. For Norrköping, goalkeeper Lisa Johansson deserved credit for a string of saves that kept the score from reaching double figures.

What It Means for the Table

With this win, Häcken strengthen their position in the top two and keep pace with the league leaders. Their goal difference receives a significant boost, which could prove crucial in a tight title race. For Norrköping, the defeat leaves them hovering dangerously close to the relegation zone. They will need to regroup quickly, as the Damallsvenskan offers no easy fixtures.

The result also highlights the growing gap between the established powers and the teams fighting for survival in Sweden’s top women’s league. Häcken’s depth and quality were on full display, and on this evidence, they will be a force to be reckoned with for the remainder of the season.
