AIK took an early lead, with Daniel Sundgren putting his name on the scoresheet by finding the net after a great assist from Johan Blomberg in the 12th minute. Östersund's Curtis Edwards executed many hard tackles and received two yellow cards in a challenging first half for the home team.

In the 67th minute, Fouad Bachirou entered the pitch for the home side, but this did not stop AIK, who continued to press forward.

After the goal, Stefanelli was substituted for Robert Thomas Taylor, who had a brief moment on the pitch before the referee blew the final whistle.

AIK’s impressive performance led to a well-deserved 3-0 victory away from home. Östersund will have to return to training and look to win their next match in Allsvenskan.
