Södertälje(Sweden)- Assyriska — the Cinderalla Assyrian football team that returned to Sweden’s premiere league this year, won its first game, beating Qviding 2-1. Assyriska scored in the 3rd and 39th minute. Qviding scored its only goal late in the second half.

Assyriska was founded in 1973. It began in the lowest division and steadily climbed to higher divisions until it reached the Premiere league, Sweden’s highest division, in 2005. A year later it fell back to division 1 but it returned to the premiere league this year.
