Helsingborgs IF continued their strong form when they faced Gefle IF FF at Olympia in a match that ended 3-0 in favor of the home team. While Helsingborg found themselves at the top of the table, Gefle struggled to avoid relegation.
The match was lackluster in the first half with few dangerous chances from either team. However, in the 18th minute, Andri Rúnar Bjarnason scored for Helsingborg after a fantastic pass from Anders Degn Randrup, setting him up in a perfect position.
Just five minutes later, Helsingborg struck again when a defender from Gefle accidentally scored an own goal, giving the home team a 2-0 lead. The guests tried to get back into the match but never came close to scoring.
After a somewhat quiet first half, Helsingborg awakened in the second half when Charlie Weberg scored the 3-0 goal in the 62nd minute after a pass from Darijan Bojanic. Helsingborg's overall superiority on the field resulted in more chances, leading to a comfortable victory for the team.
Before the final whistle blew, substitutions were made by both teams, but none could influence the final result.
With this victory, Helsingborg continues to maintain their position at the top of the table, while Gefle, on the other hand, solidified their position at the bottom of the Superettan table, and their chances of avoiding relegation seem to be diminishing.
