Elfsborg and IFK Göteborg have written themselves into Swedish women's football history by clinching their maiden promotions to Damallsvenskan after a nail-biting final round in Elitettan.
Both clubs from Västra Götaland went into the decider separated by the slimmest of margins. Elfsborg held a single-point advantage over IFK Göteborg, who in turn sat just one point clear of Kif Örebro in third.
Goals proved elusive across the decisive fixtures, but crucial late strikes from both Elfsborg and Göteborg ultimately sealed promotion for the pair, as SVT reports.
The tension was unbearable. For long spells it looked as though the final league standings could go any direction - but the two western Swedish sides held their nerve when it mattered most.
Kif Örebro were briefly in dreamland, leading their match against Häcken B and momentarily on course to snatch the title. However, the late goals elsewhere condemned them to a third-place finish and a promotion play-off instead.
At the other end of the table, Gamla Upsala, Sandviken, and BK Häcken B have all been relegated from the division.
