In front of an almost full Borås Arena, IF Elfsborg faced off against IFK Göteborg in an exciting match in Allsvenskan. IFK Göteborg, who were leading the league table ahead of the match, had a tough challenge against a home team that really wanted to win on their home ground.

The match began with a high tempo from both teams. IF Elfsborg had an early opportunity, but IFK Göteborg's goalkeeper, Pontus Dahlberg, stood firm and saved the shot. IFK Göteborg responded immediately with several dangerous attacks, but Elfsborg's goalkeeper, Kevin Stuhr-Ellegaard, was equally skilled in his defense.

During the first half, both teams maintained a good defensive organization, resulting in a lack of chances and a goalless halftime. However, the second half saw a change in the game.

IF Elfsborg's Andréas Klarström received a yellow card for a tough tackle on Göteborg's midfielder Nordin Gerzic. Following that incident, the game became more aggressive, leading to more chances for both teams. IF Elfsborg substituted Lars Nilsson for James Keene to create more offensive opportunities.

IFK Göteborg responded with Hannes Stiller, who was brought on for David Moberg Karlsson, and later replaced Nordin Gerzic. But despite several hot chances from both teams, none of them managed to put the ball in the net.

IF Elfsborg substituted Marcus Rohdén for Viktor Claesson and David Elm for Stefan Ishizaki, but nothing could change the final result of the match: 0-0. Thus, IF Elfsborg earned a point at home while IFK Göteborg remained in first place in the table.
