Djurgården came from behind to win away against Falkenbergs FF with a score of 1-2 on Sunday afternoon. Falkenberg took the lead just 15 minutes in with a stunning goal from Stefan Rodevåg, which came after a great assist from Per Karlsson. However, Djurgården responded quickly and dictated the play in the following minutes. Mathias Ranégie forced a shot over Falkenberg's defensive wall and out of the reach of goalkeeper Axel Borg after a nice pass from Michael Olunga.
At the start of the second half, Djurgården ramped up the tempo towards Falkenberg's goal, looking for chances to take the lead while the home team's defense tried to hold out. But it was Djurgården that managed to break through both Falkenberg's defense and their goalkeeper when Michael Olunga struck after 75 minutes. Falkenberg attempted to chase back and created chances, but it was Djurgården's defense, and especially Andreas Isaksson in goal, who stopped all attempts.
Djurgården ultimately won the match 2-1, despite some heated chances from the home team in the closing minutes. It was a heavy defeat for Falkenbergs FF, who now sit in the lower half of the table, while Djurgården climbs up and currently occupies fifth place in Allsvenskan. It was a match that provided excitement and high tempo from both teams, but Djurgården was the stronger team on Sunday afternoon at Falkenberg's IP.
