GAIS defeated BK Häcken 2-1 in an exciting match at Gamla Ullevi on Wednesday evening. The match started with a tight contest where both teams had chances to score.
In the second half, GAIS came out strong, and the opening goal came in the 50th minute when Häcken's defender scored an own goal. However, Häcken tried to regain control, and Paulo José De Oliveira equalized from the penalty spot in the 77th minute.
But GAIS had other plans, and just three minutes later, Eyjólfur Héðinsson scored the leading goal cleverly with a volley from the edge of the penalty area. BK Häcken had several opportunities to equalize, but GAIS's defense, led by goalkeeper John Alvbåge, held firm until the final whistle.
The match ended with a red card and several warnings, as BK Häcken lost Mak Lind due to two yellow cards. GAIS takes three important points and climbs to 11th place in the table, while Häcken drops to 10th place.
