In an intense match at Tele2 Arena, Djurgården faced Malmö FF in an exciting encounter in the Allsvenskan on Monday evening. In front of an impressive crowd of 22,208, it was Malmö FF that provided the match's only goal, in the form of an own goal that rightfully secured their victory.

It wasn't until the 39th minute that Djurgården received a yellow card when Kim Källström committed a foul tackle and was booked. Othman El Kabir received a yellow card for a similar situation in the second half.

Malmö FF had some good chances in the first half, and Kingsley Kofi Sarfo came close to scoring, but he was substituted just before halftime.

The second half began with some changes from both teams, and Malmö FF seemed to have a clear strategy to press Djurgården and secure the victory. After 49 minutes, Malmö FF's Lasse Ladegaard Nielsen received a yellow card for a foul tackle. Just three minutes later, he was joined by Erdal Rakip, who also received a yellow card for a similar situation.

The match remained physical, and Djurgården had a few opportunities to score as they focused on quick counterattacks. However, Malmö FF was clearly the stronger side, and Mattias Svanberg stepped in when Erdal Rakip was substituted after 81 minutes.

In the 86th minute, Markus Rosenberg received a red card for a brutal tackle on Djurgården's Truls Jönsson, forcing Malmö FF to play the remainder of the match with one man down. But in the end, it didn't matter as the victory was already secured thanks to an own goal in the fourth minute of stoppage time, resulting in a final score of 0-1.

Ultimately, it was a very important victory for Malmö FF that brought them closer to the top of the Allsvenskan. Djurgården will have to sit down and reflect on what they could have done differently to change the outcome.
