Gent 1-1 IFK Göteborg result, stats and report

Alexander Simmelhack's second-half strike was the difference as IFK Göteborg ground out a 1-0 win at Brommapojkarna, with the visitors' superior threat in front of goal proving too much for a home side that simply could not convert their chances.

Hibernian had the ball, the chances, and the crowd, but Gent had the goals that mattered. A 90th-minute own goal from Miguel Chaiwa sealed a 3-2 win for the Belgians and ended Hibernian's European night in the worst way possible.

Gent pulled off one of the results of the Belgian Pro League season, beating Club Brugge 2-1 thanks to a late Ibrahima Cissé header that silenced the form book and sent the home crowd into raptures.

Hjörtur Hermannsson's headed goal on 61 minutes was enough to give IFK Göteborg all three points against Örgryte in the Swedish Allsvenskan, with the hosts holding firm despite Örgryte creating the match's clearest opportunity.

Gent claimed all three points at Cercle Brugge thanks to Emmanuel Kakou's own goal in the 21st minute, with the hosts unable to convert their superior possession into a leveller. Connor Maguire gives his verdict on a damning afternoon for Cercle.

AIK have let standards slip at the worst possible time. IFK Göteborg arrive in Stockholm with form and desire. This one matters.

Zulte-Waregem have not lost a home match in their last ten Belgian Pro League outings, but Gent arrive on Saturday having won all five of their most recent fixtures. Something has to give.

IFK Göteborg head into Friday's Allsvenskan clash carrying genuine home form and a point to prove after a patchy wider run. Västerås SK arrive organised but limited in attack, and the only question that matters is whether Göteborg have the desire to see it out.
