Falkenbergs FF started the match with a clear goal of breaking their negative trend and taking three points.

It was an even game where both teams created chances, but it was Göteborg who took the lead in the 23rd minute.
The goalscorer was Alexander Farnerud, who scored his third goal of the season. The assist came from Pontus Wernbloom. Falkenbergs FF tried to respond, but the Göteborg defense held firm and kept a clean sheet. In the 33rd minute, IFK Göteborg made it even harder for Falkenberg by scoring an own goal, increasing their lead to 2-0.
Falkenbergs FF was frustrated by this and it resulted in a yellow card for Gregoire Ámiot in the 42nd minute. Just before halftime, IFK Göteborg had the chance to extend their lead with a penalty awarded in their favor. Tobias Sana had the opportunity to score, but Falkenberg’s goalkeeper saved the penalty, keeping the score at 2-0 for Göteborg.
During the halftime break, Falkenbergs FF made a substitution. Karl Söderström replaced Matthew Jimmy David Garbett in hopes of turning the match in their favor. However, IFK Göteborg continued to dominate the game, and in the 77th minute, they were awarded another penalty. This time, Tobias Sana converted confidently, putting the ball in the net to increase the lead to 3-0 for his team.
Falkenbergs FF received two yellow cards in the closing stages of the match. In the 82nd minute, Axel Norén received a yellow card, and a few minutes later they made two substitutions to try to apply pressure on Göteborg. But it was too late; the match ended 3-0 in favor of IFK Göteborg, who finally broke their long winless streak.
Near the end of the match, both Alexander Jallow from IFK Göteborg and Gustaf Nilsson from Falkenbergs FF received yellow cards. Referee Mohammed Al-Hakim chose to blow the final whistle after four minutes of added time, and IFK Göteborg could celebrate their long-awaited victory.
It was an important win for IFK Göteborg that could help them regain confidence and get out of their slump. Falkenbergs FF, on the other hand, needs to work hard to find their way back to winning ways after six consecutive matches without a victory.
