Elfsborg 1-3 Sirius result, stats and report

Sirius snatched a 2-1 win at Örgryte with a Sebastian Lagerlund header deep into stoppage time, completing a comeback after the hosts had led through Henrik Castegren's early goal. Örgryte's defensive frailty and lack of cutting edge ultimately cost them again.
