BK Häcken Breaks Winning Streak Against Djurgården
BK Häcken dropped points in the Damallsvenskan for the first time since the draw against Malmö FF on September 6 after playing out a draw against Djurgården on Friday. The reigning champions secured their second league title earlier in the week with lavish celebrations, but the team’s winning run stalled against Djurgården. Tabby Tindell put the visitors ahead after just over 15 minutes, driving home a finish that tied her with teammate Maja Bodin for the league scoring lead at 15 goals apiece.
The lead lasted until just before halftime when Elin Westlund equalized for Djurgården. Sessy shall knock it in at the far post, and then there will be some fallen fruit that I shoot in,
Westlund told Viaplay at halftime, describing the scramble in the box. I know that’s where I need to be and that’s where the ball should actually come so it’s just a matter of being ready.
The score remained level through the second half as Häcken failed to find a winner.
Tabby Tindell Ties Scoring Lead Despite Draw
Tindell’s opening strike marked her 15th goal of the Damallsvenskan season, tying her with Bodin at the top of the scoring charts. Häcken nevertheless failed to find a winner during the Friday fixture. We try to push and be intensive but haven’t really found where we want to be,
Tindell told Viaplay after the match. The result ended a notable winning run for the black-and-yellow side following their title confirmation earlier in the week.
