IF Elfsborg displayed a truly strong football performance when they faced Halmstads BK in the Allsvenskan. Just 13 minutes into the match, Elfsborg took the lead when Johan Larsson expertly shot the ball behind the Halmstad goalkeeper. Larsson continued to be in the spotlight and extended the lead to 2-0 in the 28th minute after a very beautiful attack from the home team.

Halmstad tried to get into the match but failed to create any real danger, while Elfsborg kept pressing on. In the 59th minute, James Keene managed to score his first goal for Elfsborg, making it 3-0. Keene continued to impress and scored again, making it 4-0 in the 65th minute.

Halmstad attempted to make some substitutions to change the trend, but to no avail. Instead, Elfsborg continued to showcase strong attacking play. There were several substitutions on the field, including a yellow card for Halmstad's Alexander Prent in the 76th minute.

Elfsborg kept making substitutions in search of more goals, and in the 87th minute, Fredrik Berglund made it 5-0, and just minutes later, Denni Avdic put the final nail in the coffin with the 6-0 goal.

The match thus ended in a resounding victory for Elfsborg, strengthening their position in the Allsvenskan table. The crowd at Borås Arena witnessed an entertaining and efficient home team that offered several beautiful goals. Referee Stefan Johannesson and his assistants, Stefan Hallberg and Mirce Popovski, had a relatively calm match to officiate without any controversial situations.
