IFK Göteborg put on a spectacular performance at home on Monday evening when they faced AIK at Ullevi in front of an audience of 15,311. Referee Kristoffer Karlsson maintained a strict control over the match, but that did not prevent IFK Göteborg from dominating the entire game and winning convincingly with a score of 3-0.

AIK tried to regain their footing from the start, but it was IFK Göteborg who were the better team from the first minute, creating chance after chance. Robin Söder made a brave effort on the field and created some really dangerous goal opportunities. However, after 35 minutes, coach Poya Asbaghi chose to substitute Robin Söder in favor of Sargon Abraham. This turned out to be a smart move, as Abraham's performance was a significant part of why IFK Göteborg won.

AIK tried to hold on, but after 45 minutes, Giorgi Kharaishvili took an impressive free kick that found its way into AIK’s goal, giving IFK Göteborg a well-deserved lead of 1-0.

In the second half, IFK Göteborg continued to create chance after chance, and after 65 minutes of play, Patrik Karlsson Lagemyr scored the second goal for IFK Göteborg, with a fantastic pass from Giorgi Kharaishvili. AIK made an effort to fight for a reduction, but IFK Göteborg's defense held strong.

Sargon Abraham cemented the victory when he scored IFK Göteborg’s third goal in the 81st minute, leaving AIK with no chance to come back in the match. Despite some late substitutions from both teams, the match ended 3-0 in favor of IFK Göteborg.

IFK Göteborg is now in 5th place in the Allsvenskan table, while AIK sits in 9th place. It is a heavy loss for AIK, who will need to rethink and improve their form ahead of their next match. For IFK Göteborg, the quest for the upper half of the table continues.
