Allsvenskan recap, Besara hat-trick, Hacken win, AIK stumble again...


Hammarby reinforced their title credentials with a 4-1 win over Malmo at home. The result cuts the gap at the top of the Allsvenskan table and adds to Malmo’s recent struggles.


Hacken also stayed in the title race with a victory over Mjallby, who finished the game with 10 men.


Hammarby Hit Form with Third Straight Win

After stumbling in April and losing the Svenska Cupen final midweek, Hammarby have found their rhythm in May. They secured a third consecutive league victory, winning 8-1 across those games. Five of those goals came at 3Arena in Round 8 against Malmo.


Nahir Besara scored three of Hammarby’s four goals. He got the opener in the 13th minute after Paulos Abraham was fouled in the box by Andrej Djuric. Besara stepped up and drove the penalty down the middle to put the hosts ahead.

  
Besara doubled Hammarby’s lead just before the half-hour mark. Abraham played him through inside the box, and Besara turned and fired into the bottom corner. Malmo pulled one back eight minutes before the break when Warner Hahn failed to hold a corner and Kenan Busuladzic tapped into an empty net. The visitors’ hopes didn’t last long. Six minmutes later, Hampus Skoglund reached the byline and crossed for Besara to head home his third.


With 18 minutes remaining, Hammarby put the game out of reach. Besara recorded his fourth goal involvement by finding Victor Lind on the left side of the area, and Lind curled a superb finish into the top corner to make it 4-1.


The win leaves Hammarby two points behind leaders Sirius, though they have played one more game. Malmo have now lost four of their last five and sit eighth in the table, nine points off the top.





Hacken Stay Unbeaten with Win Over Mjallby

Hacken sit third in the Allsvenskan, one point behind Hammarby, and remain one of only two unbeaten teams in the Swedish top flight. Their 1-0 win over Mjallby ended the hosts’ five-match unbeaten run in the league.


Mjallby entered the game on a six-match unbeaten run across all competitions after adding the Svenska Cupen to their trophy cabinet. That form didn’t carry over this afternoon after a costly moment late in the first half. Gustav Lindgren chased a through ball and was pulled back by Axel Noren, who was sent off with a straight red card.


Mjallby held out for 30 minutes of the second half despite being down a man. The resistance ended when Julius Lindberg tapped in after Jeremy Agbonifo reached the byline and laid it across goal. The goal gave Hacken a second straight win and helped shake their reputation as draw specialists, while Mjallby dropped to sixth.




AIK’s Winless Run Hits Five Games

AIK’s difficult season continued after a 1-1 draw away to promoted Vasteras. The result extends their winless run to five matches, while Vasteras ended a two-game losing streak.


The hosts took the lead in the 45th minute in unusual fashion. Ibrahim Cisse’s mis-hit clearance kept the ball alive in the AIK box, and Marcus Baggesen’s shot deflected heavily off Cisse and past Kristoffer Nordfeldt.


Vasteras couldn’t hold the lead until half-time. Four minutes into added time, Aron Csongvai curled a 25-yard free-kick into the net to earn a point for AIK. The result leaves AIK 10th and Vasteras 12th, with both sides on nine points.



Brommapojkarna Climb to Seventh with Narrow Win

Brommapojkarna’s alternating pattern of defeat and victory continued against Kalmar. The 1-0 result moves BP up to seventh, while Kalmar stay 13th after more inconsistent form.

 
The only goal came in the 25th minute from neat build-up down the left. Oliver Berg played a one-two with Sion Oppong, and Oppong’s shot took a heavy deflection on its way past the goalkeeper.


Kalmar created opportunities to level the game in the second half but couldn’t take them. The missed chances mean they fall to a fifth defeat since returning to the Allsvenskan.
