Malmö FF took an important step towards the league title after a hard-fought battle against IF Elfsborg at Swedbank Stadion on Sunday evening. As expected, the match was tight and evenly contested, but Malmö FF showcased their quality attacking play throughout the game.

In the second half, IF Elfsborg brought in Niklas Hult, but it was Malmö FF that took the lead. In the 78th minute, Daniel Andersson received the ball in the penalty area and fired it hard into the net. Malmö FF then continued to keep the ball in Elfsborg's half in an attempt to increase their lead.

In the 81st minute, IF Elfsborg's Denni Avdic received a yellow card for a tough tackle, which led to frustration on Elfsborg's part. Wilton Figueiredo and Anders Wikström both received yellow cards towards the end of the match, and IF Elfsborg made their final substitution with Amadou Jawo coming on for James Keene. Malmö FF substituted Wilton Figueiredo and Jeffrey Aubynn for Joseph Elanga and Miljan Mutavdzic in the 87th minute.
