It was a well-played match between IFK Göteborg and Kalmar FF at Gamla Ullevi on Sunday afternoon in the Allsvenskan. Kalmar showcased strong passing play, and they were the ones rewarded for their efforts. Just ten minutes in, Kalmar worked their way through and Alioune Diouf made no mistake when he put the ball in the net to take a 0-1 lead. IFK Göteborg struggled to find their rhythm, and Mikkel Diskerud received a yellow card in the 26th minute after a hard tackle. August Erlingmark also received a yellow card for IFK Göteborg just before halftime.
IFK Göteborg brought on Amin Affane at halftime to inject some new energy into their play, but it was Kalmar that continued to dominate. Tobias Eriksson headed in 0-2 in the 64th minute. Kalmar did most things right and increased their lead to 0-3 in the 70th minute when Isak Magnusson found the net after a nice pass from Alioune Diouf. Kalmar substituted Mikael Dyrestam in the 71st minute, and IFK Göteborg pushed forward with Mikael Ingebrigtsen replacing August Erlingmark in the 72nd minute.
It didn't take long for the scoreline to change, though it was not in favor of IFK Göteborg. Amin Affane pulled one back for IFK Göteborg in the 73rd minute, but Kalmar had already sealed the match. Nixon Darlanio Reis Cardoso was substituted in for Kalmar in the 74th minute, and Vajebah Sakor came on for IFK Göteborg in the 75th minute to give the offense an additional boost. Nils Fröling came on for Kalmar in the 84th minute, and André Calisir received a yellow card for IFK Göteborg in the 88th minute. The match ended 1-3 to Kalmar, who took home a well-deserved victory away from home.
