[p][b][a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/game/soccer/aik-lzqk4S68/orgryte-CGT7Kq4j/?mid=AZDt8HB5"]Orgryte 3-4 AIK[/a][/b][/p][p]A comprehensive 3-0 win in the reverse fixture just six days earlier had earnt [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/orgryte/CGT7Kq4j/"]Orgryte[/a] a first win in three and taken them above the automatic relegation places, and they were hoping for a repeat at home to the [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/aik/lzqk4S68/"]AIK[/a] side whose four-game unbeaten run they had ended.[/p][p]More of the same looked to be in store inside the first 15 minutes when [b][a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/christoffersson-noah/0jjbTxtB/"]Noah Christoffersson[/a] took [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/sana-tobias/pSnWFjmj/"]Tobias Sana[/a]'s pass on the turn and weaved his way through the AIK defence before burying a stunning opening goal.[/b][/p][p]With just under half an hour gone, AIK finally found a way through against OIS in simple yet effective style - [b][a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/besirovic-dino/8Qtdd6pH/"]Dino Besirovic[/a]'s long ball was taken down superbly by [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/carlstrand-linus/pIeIJzoE/"]Linus Carlstrand[/a], who fired into the top corner for his first AIK goal on his second appearance[/b]. However, parity lasted only two minutes, as [b][a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/andreasson-anton/4x6RgGHg/"]Anton Andreasson[/a] pounced on a blocked effort inside the area[/b] to put the home side back in front.[/p][embed guid="663fd14c-7bd9-42ae-a45e-d698ff472fc2" url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pVuhGTGn2tQ" social-type="youtube" /][p]2-1 was how it stayed until the 74th minute, when a [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/thychosen-mads/hfGRjvXA/"]Mads Thychosen[/a] pass infield caused havoc in the Orgryte back line and suddenly [b]space opened up for substitute [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/gustafsson-sixten/2D2WX53m/"]Sixten Gustafsson[/a] to score his first Allsvenskan goal[/b]. Four minutes later came the most crucial moment of the contest, as [b][a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/paulson-daniel/zZLVINqM/"]Daniel Paulson[/a] was shown a straight red card[/b] for a foul on Besirovic, despite replays suggesting contact was minimal.[/p][p]AIK made full use of the extra man, going ahead for the first time when [b]Carlstrand met a low Kevin Filling centre to tap home his second[/b], before former Oster man Carlstrand turned provider for [b][a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/geiger-yannick/Qmi0GE6h/"]Yannick Geiger[/a], who rolled the ball into the bottom corner[/b] from the edge of the area.[/p][p]Deep into added time,[b] [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/vindehall-charlie/8YfOUlPs/"]Charlie Vindehall[/a]'s ball over the top was chested down and fired home by [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/tibbling-jerome/fZGeNVM9/"]Jerome Tibbling[/a][/b], but that was no more than a consolation for Orgryte, who remain three points shy of guaranteed safety having played a game more than [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/ifk-goteborg/UovQtopk/"]Goteborg[/a]. AIK climg to fifth for the time being.[/p][p][b][a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/game/soccer/elfsborg-rBi9iqU7/mjallby-S0XtXM1E/?mid=r1Rm6etI"]Mjallby 0-1 Elfsborg[/a][/b][/p][p][a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/mjallby/S0XtXM1E/"]Mjallby[/a]'s seven-game winless run in the league was compounded in midweek with a UEFA Champions League loss to [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/slovan-bratislava/QRaWdwQf/"]Slovan Bratislava[/a]. [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/elfsborg/rBi9iqU7/"]Elfsborg[/a] arrived at Strandvallen looking for consecutive victories having ended their own run of seven without a win away at [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/malmo-ff/tYNTdpar/"]Malmo[/a] last time out.[/p][p]And the visitors were on their way midway through the first half, when a direct attack resulted in [b][a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/kamara-momoh/xrFxVxXj/"]Momoh Kamara[/a] backheeling the ball into the path of [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/olsson-simon/UVkYbfUa/"]Simon Olsson[/a], who drilled it into the bottom corner from 25 yards out.[/b][/p][p]Mjallby, playing without [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/stroud-elliot/4rVMk5Sb/"]Elliot Stroud[/a] whose move to the Premier League is all but confirmed, were fortunate not to fall further behind as [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/magnusson-julius/Y7vKKnZC/"]Julius Magnusson[/a] hit the woodwork, but they couldn't make that good fortune count late on as [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/iqbal-abdullah/dSaknJPl/"]Abdullah Iqbal[/a] had a header cleared off the line.[/p][embed guid="bb84287a-592d-4670-878a-7a53b6fb985e" url="https://x.com/SwefootballEN/status/2086122585176121576" social-type="twitter" /][p]It's just one point from their last four now for the champions, who have not won a league game since May. Elfsborg are up to sixth and are just two points off the European places, though [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/djurgarden/4Kh5hPE1/"]Djurgarden[/a] have two games in hand.[/p][p][b][a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/soccer/sweden/allsvenskan/"]Follow all the latest from Allsvenskan on Flashscore.[/a][/b][/p]
