Häcken 2-4 Djurgården 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.

Häcken were taken apart 5-0 away at Kalmar in the Swedish Allsvenskan, with G. Lindgren scoring a hat-trick as the visitors offered absolutely nothing in attack. This was not a defeat. It was a statement about standards, accountability, and the total absence of both.

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.

Mjällby bossed large parts of this match with 17 shots and 58% possession but could not find a winner, as Häcken held on after Jacob Bergström's early header was cancelled out by Julius Lindberg's second-half equaliser.

Malmö FF host Häcken at Eleda Stadion on Sunday 18 October in a Swedish Allsvenskan clash that pits a home side building momentum against visitors who simply refuse to be beaten cleanly. Something has to give.

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.

Häcken host Örgryte on Sunday looking to settle a score from July, but neither side has covered themselves in glory lately. Connor Maguire breaks down what matters.

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.
