Sirius showed a good performance in Gais's penalty area. After a corner in the 44th minute, Victor Ekström cleverly kicked the ball up, which with half luck and half skill became a perfect setup for himself. 23-year-old Ekström then scored the lead goal at the far post. The goal, Ekström's first in the Allsvenskan, meant 2–1 on Studenternas and it was also the final result. Gais's equalizing goal in the 16th minute signed by former Sirius academy player Rasmus Niklasson Petrovic. Before that, top scorer Isak Bjerkebo scored 1–0 after just six minutes with a solo performance. With ten minutes to go, Mohamed Soumah and Henry Sletsjöe got into each other's way. Sletsjöe fell to the ground and Soumah got the red card. According to Sletsjöe's account, Soumah took a stranglehold on him. The win takes Sirius up to 25 points out of 27 possible in the top of the table. Hammarby fell in the derby against AIK and are now eight points behind Sirius with one more game played. Sirius coach Andreas Engelmark says in the press conference after the match: – We knew it would be an incredibly tough match. We start very well, make 1–0, and I felt we could make 2–0 in that phase too. Then we get in 2–1 before the break and that gives us a lot. I think we have a pretty good control in the second half. With ten men, it's to defend the goal and hold our breath a bit. We do that well. It's clear that we're satisfied today. Gais coach Fredrik Holmberg: – Always tough to lose. It swings out there, it's two very good football teams and a good football match. We're a bit weak on creating scoring chances with one man more. There are many unnecessary things that happen in that period. Gais continues to swim in the middle of the table with 12 points on 10 matches. For the Gothenburg team, a home match against Kalmar FF awaits in the last round before the World Cup break. Sirius takes on AIK on the road.
