GAIS defeated Trelleborgs FF 2-1 in an exciting match at Gamla Ullevi in Superettan. Julius Lindberg headed in the first goal of the match after a fine assist from Mervan Celik in the 29th minute. However, Trelleborg responded quickly and equalized with an own goal when Axel Norén caused the ball to slip in behind the GAIS goalkeeper.

GAIS was on the attack, and it didn't take long before Richard Emeka Friday headed in the decisive goal, assisted by August Wängberg, who received a yellow card a few minutes later. Trelleborg had several opportunities to equalize in the remainder of the match but failed to capitalize on them.
