Match start
Hammarby home vs GAIS in Allsvenskan began with a quick start. Victor Lind opened the scoring in the first 11 minutes. After missing his first shot, he followed up the rebound, created space, and fired into the bottom corner. Five minutes later, Lind became an assister when he intercepted a sloppy pass from GAIS’ own penalty area. When the goalkeeper tried to close him down, he turned to Paulos Abraham, who scored into an empty net despite attempts by defenders.
Hammarby takes the lead
In the second half, Warner Hahn had to save a Nikola Vasic strike that went around the post. Lind and Abraham were close to scoring braces late on, but the victory was secured. Hammarby took their third straight win and reduced the gap to European places to eight points, as Elfsborg only earned a point in Gothenburg and moved into fourth place.
Late play and points
After a goalless first half, Hammarby took the lead just after the hour when Julius Beck was judged to have fouled Felix Eriksson in the box, and Sam Larsson sent the goalkeeper the wrong way from the penalty spot. In the 90th minute, Gothenburg lost a third win in four when Leo Ostman missed a chance after a through ball. Elfsborg are unbeaten in four matches, but their three‑match winning run ended. Brommapojkarna beat Degerfors with two late goals and secured their second straight win, while Roda Broder drew a 0‑0 with Västerås, where Mamadou Diagne missed a clear chance from six meters.
