Djurgården 3-0 Halmstad result, stats and report

Elfsborg came to Stockholm and did what nobody had managed in five attempts, beating Djurgården 2-1 to end a remarkable clean sheet streak and claim a deserved away victory.

Halmstad pulled off a dramatic comeback win against AIK, with substitute Malte Persson scoring in the 90th minute to seal all three points after Johan Hove had levelled for the visitors.

Djurgården made it four wins from their last five Allsvenskan matches with a composed 2-0 home victory over GAIS, goals from Kristian Strømland Lien and B. Hegland doing the damage either side of half-time. GAIS finished the match with two red cards and no answer to a Djurgården defence that simply refused to be broken.

Halmstad nicked all three points with a stoppage-time goal from substitute Ludvig Arvidsson, defying the run of play completely after Kalmar created four big chances and failed to score from any of them.

Halmstad have conceded 16 goals in their last 10 Allsvenskan matches and now face a Hammarby side that has scored 24 in the same window. Something has to give on Sunday.

Djurgården arrive at Brommapojkarna on Friday having kept five consecutive clean sheets and conceded nothing in their last five Allsvenskan matches. Brommapojkarna have shipped nine goals in their last five. You do the maths.

Elfsborg host a Halmstad side leaking goals at an alarming rate in Monday's Swedish Allsvenskan fixture, and the home side look well placed to take full advantage of their opponents' defensive frailties.

Hammarby host Djurgården in a Stockholm derby on Sunday with both sides in serious form, but it is the visitors' defensive record that makes this one genuinely difficult to call.
