A fantastic evening at Swedbank Stadion where Malmö FF crushed IF Elfsborg in a match that ended 6-0, putting Malmö at the top of the table.

Referee Andreas Ekberg ensured that the match flowed smoothly, issuing warnings to both the home and away teams throughout the game.

In the 35th minute, Elfsborg's Joakim Nilsson received a warning, only to get another warning and a red card just 23 minutes later. Markus Rosenberg scored a penalty in the 53rd minute, making it Malmö's third goal. And when Jørgen Horn was sent off, the match seemed completely decided.

Malmö FF showcased fantastic teamwork, with Anton Tinnerholm, Erdal Rakip, and Rosenberg adding three more goals to the tally. Elfsborg could never find their rhythm, while Malmö dominated from start to finish.

Bonke Innocent was substituted in the 75th minute, and Franz Brorsson was brought on later as Malmö looked to hold on to their victory. Alexander Jeremejeff had the chance to play the final minutes after replacing Rosenberg in the 82nd minute.
