Helsingborgs IF won a tough away match against Gefle IF FF at Strömvallen with a score of 1 - 2 on Sunday afternoon. The home team started strong and took the lead in the 18th minute through Jakob Orlov, who received a nice pass from Simon Lundevall and was able to slot the ball into the net.
After this, Gefle tried to extend their lead but could not create any more scoring opportunities. Instead, it was the away team that capitalized on a chance, as Arnór Smárason equalized in the 33rd minute after a nice interplay with Mattias Lindström.
In the second half, both teams continued to push for the win, but it was Helsingborgs IF who managed to take the lead in the 60th minute through Imad Khalili. Gefle desperately tried to create chances to equalize, but their attacks were thwarted by Helsingborg's strong defense.
Despite a late attempt by the home team to salvage a point by making two substitutions with Daniel Bernhardsson and Emil Bellander, Helsingborgs IF managed to maintain their lead. Emil Krafth received a yellow card in the 88th minute, but it did not significantly affect the match.
Helsingborgs IF was thus able to secure an important away victory and remain in second place in the Allsvenskan table, while Gefle IF FF continues to struggle in the middle of the table in eleventh place.
