Helsingborgs IF showcased their dominance at home, defeating Halmstads BK 4-2 in a wonderful Allsvenskan match at Olympia in Helsingborg.
David Accam started the scoring just 21 minutes into the game, beating Halmstad's goalkeeper with a strike. Imad Khalili extended Helsingborg's lead with a beautiful goal just four minutes later, with Robin Simovic providing the assist. Khalili was not satisfied with just one goal; he wanted more and finished off a pass from Mattias Lindström, increasing the lead to 3-0 before halftime.
Halmstad fought hard and reduced the deficit through Gudjón Baldvinsson, assisted by Jesper Westerberg in the 57th minute. The home team’s lead wobbled when Mikael Boman capitalized on a pass from Johan Blomberg, scoring Halmstad’s second goal just six minutes later.
Halmstad desperately tried to chase a third goal, but Helsingborg's defense held firm, keeping Halmstad at bay. This led to frustration, and Simon Silverholt received a yellow card in the closing minutes.
Helsingborg's Ion Alvaro Santos sealed the match in the 90th minute, with support from David Accam, who assisted the final goal. Halmstad could not mount a comeback and played for a respectable loss.
After the match, Helsingborg sits in third place on the table while Halmstad BK remains second to last after the defeat. Michael Lerjéus, the match referee, concluded a good game with Mikael Hallin and Fredrik Nilsson by his side as assistant referees.
