According to sources, Djurgården finishes first in their group with two wins and one loss. The team won against Skövde and won at home against BP on Sunday. In the match against BP, Djurgården took the lead in the second minute.

Bo Hegland sent in a cross to new signing Kristian Lien who headed in 1-0. Shortly after, Piotr Johansson rushed forward and another cross found Lien who hit the crossbar with another header. In the 30th minute, Lien scored a 'goal thief's goal' by staying in front of a shot from Bo Hegland and poking in 2-0.

Bo Hegland was initially announced as the scorer but it was later corrected in the protocol. No more goals were scored. Djurgården lost their home opener against Falkenberg, though the exact score in that match has not been disclosed.

The quarterfinals will be drawn on Monday evening. The four 'best' group winners are awarded home advantage, but which teams will receive this advantage remains to be determined. The opponents in the quarterfinals are not yet known.
