Piteå IF Women delivered a stunning attacking display on 23 August 2026, thrashing IK Uppsala Women 5-1 in the Damallsvenskan. The emphatic victory underlined Piteå’s credentials as one of Swedish women’s football’s most dangerous sides and provided a memorable evening for the home supporters in northern Sweden.

Dominant from the first whistle

From the opening exchanges, Piteå pressed high, won the ball in dangerous areas, and refused to give Uppsala time to settle. The home side raced into an early lead and never looked back, combining slick passing with clinical finishing. By the time the interval arrived, Piteå had already opened up a commanding advantage, leaving the visitors facing an uphill battle.

Key moments and attacking highlights

• Early breakthrough: Piteå took the lead inside the opening 15 minutes from a well-worked move down the left flank, finished emphatically at the near post.
• Flurry of goals before half-time: Two quickfire goals in the first half put the result beyond doubt, with the second scored directly from a corner routine and the third following a swift counter-attack.
• Uppsala consolation: The visitors pulled one back after the break, briefly giving their travelling fans a reason to cheer, but Piteå responded immediately with two more goals to restore their dominant margin.

A statement of intent

This was more than just three points for Piteå. It was a performance built on intensity, teamwork, and sheer attacking intent. Facing a determined Uppsala side trying to climb the table, Piteå dictated the tempo entirely and showed that they can be ruthless against teams that sit deeper. The five goals also provided a significant boost to their goal difference, which could prove valuable in what remains a tight Damallsvenskan season.
