Swedish Invincibles who did not concede all season but still finished second
Ulf Johansson, the coach of Swedish fourth division side Ängelholm Women says he is extremely proud of the team who have a playoff decider on Sunday
Imagine completing an entire league season unbeaten without conceding a goal and still not being crowned champions. Those are the mixed emotions facing the fourth-tier Swedish women’s club Ängelholm but, as their coach, Ulf Johansson, says, a screenshot of the league table going viral has helped his players start to appreciate the magnitude of what they achieved.
They won 15 of their 18 league matches but three goalless draws meant they missed out on the title by a point. His overwhelming emotion, however, is pride. “In the last few games, all the teams just wanted to score against us, so they were using five or six attackers in the last 25 minutes,” he says.
