Hammarby secured an important victory at home at Tele2 Arena, beating Gefle IF FF 2-1 in Allsvenskan on Sunday afternoon. With an attendance of 22,215 creating a great atmosphere in the arena, it was the home team that started the strongest. Just 13 minutes in, Hammarby took the lead with a header from Erik Israelsson following a well-taken corner. Gefle IF FF tried to come back but struggled to create clear goal-scoring opportunities against the well-organized home defense.

In the 39th minute, Hammarby extended their lead through a fine individual effort from Alexssander Medeiros De Azeredo, who received the ball in the penalty area and was able to shoot it into the net. Gefle IF FF continued to fight, but it was Hammarby who had better chances to increase their lead.

In the second half, Gefle IF FF made two substitutions to try to spark their attacking play, but it was Hammarby that continued to dominate. Faced with an increasingly frustrated away crowd, Hammarby also made two substitutions in the 60th minute to freshen up their attack.

Gefle IF FF kept battling, and in the 89th minute, they finally managed to pull one back through Johan Bertilsson after a nice pass from one of the substitutes, Abdul Basit Adam. Hammarby faced difficulties towards the end, and in the first minute of stoppage time, Johan Persson received his second yellow card and was thus sent off.

However, Hammarby was able to hold on and take an important victory that lifted them to 14th place in the table. Gefle IF FF remains in second-to-last place and continues to fight to avoid relegation. Glenn Nyberg was the referee, with Björn Lindroth and Niclas Ivarsson as assistant referees.
