Attendance: 19,671

On a sunny Sunday afternoon, AIK and IF Elfsborg met at the National Arena in front of an audience of 19,671 spectators. It was an important match in Allsvenskan, and both teams wanted to take three points home.

The match started with high intensity, and it took less than two minutes before the away team, IF Elfsborg, scored the first goal. Jeppe Moldrup Okkels capitalized on a mistake in AIK's defense and placed the ball into the net behind a helpless Oscar Linnér in AIK's goal.

AIK tried to equalize quickly but struggled to create dangerous goal-scoring opportunities. Instead, IF Elfsborg extended their lead after half an hour when Jacob Ondrejka scored with a precise shot following a nice pass from Okkels.

AIK's coach made two substitutions at halftime in an effort to turn the match around. John Guidetti came on for Vincent Thill and tried to apply pressure on IF Elfsborg's defense. However, the away team kept their lead intact and then substituted Okkels for Emmanuel Boateng.

AIK had to chase the game and threw everything they had at it, while IF Elfsborg tried to maintain possession and manage the match. After 84 minutes, AIK finally scored as Abdussalam Magashy headed the ball into the net after a fine through pass from midfielder Rasmus Lindkvist.

AIK attempted to push for an equalizer, but it was too late. Instead, there were some heated moments on the field. AIK's equipment manager Håkan Sjöberg was sent off in stoppage time after he threw a ball onto the field, causing an unnecessary delay.

Ultimately, IF Elfsborg came out on top and won the match 2-1. A well-deserved victory for the away team, who now sit in fourth place in the table, while AIK slips down to seventh place after a five-match losing streak.
