Hammarby does not disappoint at Tele2 Arena as they host Falkenbergs FF in Allsvenskan. Already after eight minutes of play, Hammarby takes the lead 1-0 through Alexander Kacaniklic, assisted by Nikola Djurdjic. Just five minutes later, Vidar Örn Kjartansson doubles the lead, and in the 18th minute, Nikola Djurdjic scores himself to make it 3-0 with an assist from Kacaniklic. Before the halftime break, the referee also shows a yellow card to Falkenberg's John Björkengren.
In the second half, Hammarby continues to dominate. Kacaniklic scores his second goal of the match in the 56th minute, assisted by Dennis Widgren, and just one minute later, he scores his third goal of the day, assisted by Muamer Tankovic. Falkenberg receives a warning for Kirill Pogrebnyak in the 60th minute. Hammarby then makes some substitutions, while Falkenberg brings off both Björkengren and Tobias Helldén, bringing on John Chibuike and Tibor Brink Joza.
Hammarby keeps pressing and Djurdjic scores from a penalty in the 73rd minute, prompting a standing ovation from the crowd at Tele2 Arena. However, Falkenberg manages to score two goals towards the end of the match. Tibor Brink Joza scores in the 78th minute with an assist from Jacob Ericsson, and Robin Östlind nets Falkenberg's second goal in the 88th minute, assisted by Karl Söderström.
The match ends with two yellow cards, one for Hammarby's Vidar Örn Kjartansson and one for Falkenberg's Mahmut Özen. Özen is sent off in the final minutes, meaning Falkenberg has to finish the match with one less player on the field. The match concludes 6-2 in favor of Hammarby, and the crowd celebrates with the players on the field. Wonderful performance by Hammarby!
