On Sunday evening, IF Elfsborg met Kalmar FF at Borås Arena in front of a crowd of 9,422. The match was refereed by Fredrik Klitte, assisted by Mehmet Culum and Daniel Ekman. It turned into a battle where the visiting team Kalmar FF ultimately emerged victorious with a score of 3-0.

Just 23 minutes into the match, Kalmar FF broke the deadlock with Nahom Girmai Netabay scoring the goal after an assist from Simon Skrabb. The team then continued to pressure IF Elfsborg, and in the 27th minute, Lars Sætra headed in the visitors’ second goal, assisted by Melker Hallberg.

IF Elfsborg tried to get back into the match, but instead, it became 0-3 when Kalmar FF’s Buhari Ibrahim scored an own goal in the 30th minute. At halftime, IF Elfsborg attempted to substitute some players to change the course of the game, but it didn’t help much.

The match ended 3-0 in favor of Kalmar FF, while Melker Hallberg received a yellow card for his performance on the field. Romario Pereira Sipiao was substituted in after 70 minutes, and in the final minutes, Arash Motaraghebjafarpour was also brought on to help Kalmar FF secure the win.
