IF Elfsborg won the match against Athletic Eskilstuna at Borås Arena on Wednesday with a score of 1-0 thanks to Jesper Karlsson's goal in the 81st minute. Pawel Cibicki provided the assist. The match in Allsvenskan seemed poised to end in a draw, but Karlsson was able to break the deadlock and secure vital three points for Elfsborg.

The match looked evenly matched from the start, and Athletic Eskilstuna had several half-chances to take the lead, but primarily Elfsborg's goalkeeper Kevin Stuhr Ellegaard was alert and saved what was needed. In the 27th minute, Elfsborg made their first substitution, with Jesper Karlsson replacing Jonathan Levi.

Elfsborg also had some opportunities in the first half but could not outsmart Athletic's goalkeeper. Simon Lundevall received a yellow card after a tough tackle.

In the second half, the play intensified, and Athletic continued with their attacks, but after 68 minutes, the coach made a double substitution, bringing Christian Miljevic on for Gustav Jarl.

Elfsborg continued to press and were rewarded when Jesper Karlsson scored in the 81st minute. Thereafter, Athletic tried to get back into the match, but to no avail. They brought on Ousmane Camara and Artem Rakhmanov, but it was too late, and Elfsborg secured their victory.

At the end of the match, Pawel Cibicki received a yellow card for an offense. The match was well officiated by referee Adam Ladebäck and his assistants Andreas Söderkvist and Niklas Nyberg. The attendance was 4,079 people.
