Elfsborg 1-2 Hammarby 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.

Hammarby put in a commanding display at home, running out 3-1 winners against Brommapojkarna in the Swedish Allsvenskan. Paulos Abraham's early goal set the tone, and Brommapojkarna simply could not live with the pressure.

Elfsborg dominated possession, created the better chances, and hit the woodwork, but Kalmar's M. Kamara punished them with a clinical second-half finish to secure a 1-0 win in Allsvenskan.

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.

Sirius have lost three of their last five in the Allsvenskan and Elfsborg arrive in decent nick. Sunday's lunchtime fixture has the look of a match that matters more than it might appear on the surface.

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.
