It was an exciting match between Helsingborgs IF and AIK at Olympia on Wednesday evening. The attendance was not particularly high, with only 9,343 people present, but the noise level was high as the match started.
Helsingborgs IF, who are in eighth place in the league, fought hard to take the lead. However, it was AIK, sitting in second place, who looked dangerous at the start of the match. The home team had good chances to score, but the away team's goalkeeper, Ivan Turina, saved AIK several times.
The halftime score was 0 - 0, and Helsingborgs IF tried to make a change by bringing on Rachid Bouaouzan in place of Daniel Nordmark. But it was AIK who received an early warning when Robert Åhman Persson received a yellow card in the fiftieth minute.
AIK attempted to maintain pressure and substituted Robin Quaison for Alhassan Kamara in the sixty-eighth minute, but the match remained intense. Helsingborgs IF brought on Thomas Braathen Sørum for Alfred Finnbogason in the seventieth minute, but this did not lead to any scoring chances.
AIK substituted Lalawele Atakora for Martin Kayongo-Mutumba in the seventy-fifth minute, and Robin Quaison picked up a yellow card in the seventy-ninth minute. There was another AIK substitution when Viktor Lundberg replaced Pontus Engblom in the eightieth minute.
The match continued to be exciting but ended with a score of 0 - 0. Referee Martin Hansson and assistant referees Mehmet Culum and Stefan Hallberg did a good job of keeping track of the game throughout the match. Both Helsingborgs IF and AIK will have to settle for a point each.
