AIK secured a well-deserved victory against Athletic Eskilstuna in the latest Allsvenskan match at Tunavallen. The match started with an early goal from AIK, with Daniel Sundgren scoring following a nice pass from Kristoffer Olsson. However, Athletic Eskilstuna quickly responded and equalized through Omar Eddahri after a pass from Mohamed Buya Turay.

In the second half, the tempo of the match increased, and both teams created several chances. The biggest change in the match occurred when Athletic Eskilstuna substituted Ferid Ali for Thomas Piermayr after 52 minutes. Piermayr struggled to handle the pressure from AIK, which put Athletic Eskilstuna's defense under a lot of strain.

AIK took the opportunity to bring on Denni Avdic after 65 minutes, which proved to be a smart move. After being on the pitch for about 20 minutes, Avdic scored AIK’s second goal after receiving the ball from Simon Thern. Athletic Eskilstuna fought to get back into the match, but continued to have difficulty dealing with AIK’s strong defense.

The match was then settled thanks to a beautiful goal by Eero Markkanen, who scored AIK’s third and final goal in the 89th minute. Markkanen received a pass from Simon Thern and shot the ball into the far corner of Athletic Eskilstuna’s goal. The match ended with AIK winning 3-1.

AIK’s coach Rikard Norling was pleased with the team’s performance after the match but noted that there was still potential for improvement. Athletic Eskilstuna’s coach Michael Jolley was disappointed with the loss but felt that the team had played well nonetheless. The match was attended by 7,047 people and was well officiated by Johan Hamlin as the main referee, with Joakim Amri Nilsson and Johan Thalin assisting.
