[b][a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/bjerkebo-isak/K2bsu3sF/"]Isak Bjerkebo[/a][/b] had been playing like he had a point to prove against his old club, and was rewarded when [b]cutting inside from the left before picking out the bottom corner[/b] with a cool finish.[/p][embed guid="c4404200-b019-4375-9185-e409105dd9d1" url="https://x.com/SwefootballEN/status/2047381531920871605" social-type="twitter" /][p]Another six minutes later and the lead had grown further, thanks to [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/jonsson-neo/0thvOQnM/"]Neo Jonsson[/a] getting on the end of a free-kick at the byline and firing it across [b]for [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/ure-robbie/nwv3yIFM/"]Robbie Ure[/a] to tap in[/b] his third of the league season.[/p][p]MFF set up a grandstand finish with 13 minutes to play as [b]Adrian Skogmar played a delightful one-two with [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/larsen-jens/ldTYqKh3/"]Jens Stryger Larsen[/a] before striking low[/b] into the net, but Sirius held on for another impressive win, inflicting a first Allsvenskan loss on Miguel Angel Ramirez.[/p][p][b][a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/game/soccer/aik-lzqk4S68/degerfors-zNSwBuue/?mid=pGS1rODU"]Degerfors 2-1 AIK[/a][/b][/p][p][a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/degerfors/zNSwBuue/"]Degerfors[/a]' three points this season had come on the road, so a third home game in four, this time against an unbeaten AIK, would have done little to inspire confidence.[/p][p]Yet, they at least found the net on home soil for the first time in 2026, albeit they needed an AIK player to put it in the net - 15 minutes in, [b][a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/fritzson-ludvig/EqRAfXoe/"]Ludvig Fritzson[/a] fizzed a low ball in from the right and it was inadvertently buried into the back of the net by the outstretched [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/wilson-stanley/baxu71L6/"]Stanley Wilson[/a].[/b][/p][p]The visitors atoned for that error deep into first-half stoppage time, when an unbalanced [b][a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/flataker-erik/vqermuJ4/"]Erik Flataker[/a] managed to squeeze the ball through for [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/hove-johan/OfIWvZOb/"]Johan Hove[/a] to level[/b], and 1-1 was how it stayed until five minutes from time, when the Solna side again conceded in bizarre fashion.[/p][p][b]An AIK free-kick 10 yards inside their own half was struck against [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/vukojevic-dijan/QRhr3B1A/"]Dijan Vukojevic[/a] stood a yard away, but rather than order a retake, the referee allowed play to continue, as Vukojevic pounced on a sloppy backpass to go through on goal before squaring for [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/taranis-arman/EwK8L8qO/"]Arman Taranis[/a] to finish.[/b][/p][p]The visitors were furious as they tasted defeat for the first time this season and remain on seven points, while Degerfors now sit a point back as their inconsistent start continues.[/p][embed guid="a606d30e-8ee8-46cb-9635-d3cb31731101" url="https://x.com/SwefootballEN/status/2047387384661115383" social-type="twitter" /][p][b][a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/game/soccer/goteborg-UovQtopk/kalmar-rkrUu5ae/?mid=W61K05Tb"]Kalmar 1-1 Goteborg[/a][/b][/p][p]Newly-promoted [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/kalmar/rkrUu5ae/"]Kalmar[/a] picked up their first point of the season, while IFK [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/ifk-goteborg/UovQtopk/"]Goteborg[/a]'s poor start continues - they have just point more than the Roda Broder.[/p][p]The home side took the lead with just under half an hour played, when [b][a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/jansson-rony/tGVb8cJj/"]Rony Jansson[/a]'s cross was met by a stooping [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/rosenqvist-charlie/nyDc3SI6/"]Charlie Rosenqvist[/a] header.[/b][/p][p]Blavitt drew themselves level in similar style in added time at the end of the first half, as [b][a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/bergmark-wiberg-adam/r3X0IcVa/"]Adam Bergmark-Wiberg[/a] provided the cross for [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/heintz-tobias/txMJ23dg/"]Tobias Heintz[/a] to nod in[/b], but neither side could find a winner in the second half, leaving both in the bottom three.
