Häcken 3-2 Malmö FF result, stats and report

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.

Malmö FF put on a commanding performance at home, running out 4-1 winners against Örgryte in the Swedish Allsvenskan. Three second-half goals sealed a victory that the stats made look entirely justified.

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.

AIK bossed possession and created the cleaner chances at Malmö, but the Allsvenskan derby finished goalless as both defences held firm in a match that had plenty of needle.

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.

Kalmar arrive at Malmö FF having won none of their last five Allsvenskan matches and conceding nine goals in the process. The thing is, Malmö have kept a clean sheet in five of their last ten. Work that out.

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.
