Lars Sætra scored the first goal for Kalmar in the 37th minute, then Anthony van der Hurk tied it up for Helsingborg in the 90th minute earning Helsingborg at least a draw. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 6 points in their last 10 matches, while 2nd placed Djurgården is fresh off their 1-0 shutout win against Hammarby. Gustav Wikheim struck first for Djurgården in the 68th minute, and with that single goal the scoring was complete. Neither team could manage anything else In the end, Hammarby was frustrated by Djurgården’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Djurgården ended the match with the shutout victory. With 18 points in their last 10 matches Djurgården should be reasonably happy with their performance.
