Sirius move six points clear after fighting back to beat Kalmar, while Degerfors and Häcken draw.

Sirius kept up their strong start to the 2026 Allsvenskan campaign, rallying from 2-0 down at half-time to defeat Kalmar 3-2 at home. In the other game, Degerfors and Hacken played out a draw in Degerfors.

Sirius Fight Back to Stay Top 

Sirius opened up a six-point lead at the top after a dramatic home win, their only dropped points in 2026 coming in Monday’s draw with Hacken.  

  

Kalmar looked set to spoil the party after going ahead in the 38th minute, with Charlie Rosenqvist heading home a Charles Sagoe Jr cross. Sagoe Jr turned provider again right before half-time, laying the ball off for Rony Jansson to fire low into the corner and make it 2-0.  

Sirius pulled one back in the 64th minute when Victor Svensson controlled Marcus Lindberg’s cross and finished from a tight angle. They leveled 10 minutes later after Rosenqvist fouled Victor Ekström in the box, with Isak Bjerkebo converting the penalty.

Sirius sealed it in the 91st minute when Joakim Persson nodded a long ball into the path of Odera Samuel Adindu, who marked his introduction with the winner on his first goal of the season.  

The result means Sirius will sit at least three points clear when the round finishes, while Kalmar stay on four points and remain one spot above the relegation zone.

Hacken Held Again as Degerfors Strike Late

Häcken stayed unbeaten after six games but drew for the fourth time this season, their third in a row, after being held 1-1 at Degerfors.  

The visitors went ahead in the 19th minute when Silas Andersen converted a penalty awarded for Nasiru Moro’s foul on Adrian Svanback.
