AIK Dam 3–0 Växjö, and third place is two points away
A routine win, exactly the kind you needed. AIK beat Växjö 3–0 on Saturday in the Damallsvenskan, with Daniella Famili, Anna Oskarsson and Matilda Plan scoring (1).
That puts AIK two points behind Malmö FF in the race for third (1)(4). Malmö FF have played one match fewer (4).
The men's team is a different story. AIK sit 8th in the Allsvenskan with 33 points from 22 games, goal difference -3, and form of W D L D L.

Olofsson on the AIK pressure and his first U21 call

Next up: Brommapojkarna at home
AIK host IF Brommapojkarna in the Allsvenskan on Saturday, October 10, 15:00 CEST. No match before then.
Fan reactions
Quiet on the subreddit this morning apart from logistics. The main thread is a supporter trying to offload a discounted ticket for the IFK game on October 17 after buying it too hastily. Practical, not emotional. That kind of week.
