IF Elfsborg continued their fine form in Allsvenskan by defeating Kalmar FF 3-0 at Guldfågeln Arena on Sunday afternoon. In a match that seemed even at the start, the guests from Borås managed to find gaps in the home team's defense during the second half.

The match began with high intensity from both teams, but it was IF Elfsborg who had the most ball possession and created the first dangerous opportunities. In the 23rd minute, the guests substituted Simon Lundevall for Henning Hauger in an attempt to enhance their offense.

Kalmar FF received a warning in the 29th minute for an unfair tackle by Viktor Elm, which set the tone for the rest of the match. The home team then substituted Marcus Gotte for Stefan Larsson in the 45th minute to strengthen their defense.

IF Elfsborg began to dominate the match in the second half, and Simon Hedlund scored 0-1 in the 52nd minute. Kalmar FF responded with a dangerous situation, but Filip Sachpekidis received a warning in the 56th minute.

The intensity increased as Adam Lundqvist received a warning in the 63rd minute for IF Elfsborg, and Kalmar FF brought in Rasmus Elm for Sachpekidis two minutes later.

Kalmar FF continued to try to reduce the deficit, but it was instead IF Elfsborg who extended their lead when Arber Zeneli made it 0-2 in the 85th minute, assisted by Simon Hedlund. Just a minute later, Hedlund himself scored 0-3 with his second goal of the day after an assist from Simon Lundevall.

With this result, IF Elfsborg continues their strong season while Kalmar FF has to rethink their strategy for the next match. The attendance at Guldfågeln Arena was 5,412, and the match referee was Kaspar Sjöberg, with Tobias Wärn and Jan-Erik Swärdh as assistant referees.
