Guthenberg. He scored early 1-0, a tough setback with the biggest star being sent off and suspended.
Then Haken captain Samuel Gustafson scored the first goal of the season for the Allsvenskan.
Häcken now has a real advantage in the fight for gold after 2-1 against Malmö FF. Hisingsklubben could become champion in a jacket through Monday evening.
Words like the beginning of a dream can sometimes be too big. Not in this case.
It took 38 seconds (!) before he trailed 1-0 in the net Johann Dahlin In Häcken’s MFF goal in front of a completely sold-out Bravida Arena. It was Allsvenskan’s fastest goal of the year, scored by Lars Olsen Larsen with a pass from Simon Gustafson.
the rest of the half? Very angry with seven warnings, five for MFF and two for Häcken.
It was no less infuriating at the start of the second half when Alexander Jeremigov hit a throw-in against Ola Toivonen after a duel in the penalty area. After consulting with the assistant referee, referee Christopher Carlson withdrew the red card in favor of Geremjev in the 49th minute.
Thus, Häckenstjärnan was also stopped in the next round, away in the derby against IFK Göteborg.
Nine points before runner-up
But with one less player, Häcken continued to play and defend well.
In the 73rd minute, Haken launched a first-class counterattack. Big play Ibrahim Sadiq stepped up, waited for his teammates, and fired the ball to Michael Rigaard who found Samuel Gustafson with a precise pass.
The hedge captain scored his first Allsvenskan goal of the season in a strike to make it 2-0. This was also Gustafson’s first Allsvenskan goal on his return to Häcken. The last time he did it before that in 2016.
Sadik makes a great match, says discovery expert Anders Anderson.
When Sadek was substituted in the 82nd minute, the speedy winger received a standing ovation from the home team’s fans.
It was a nervous ending for Hahn. Felix Pigmo scored two goals in the 86th minute.
But the 2-1 lead has stood the test of time and means Haken is currently a full nine points ahead of second-placed Djurgorden, who met Monday night leader Jeff Sundsvall.
Djurgården must go clean and win the remaining matches to stand a theoretical chance of capturing Häcken.
For Häcken, one point in the remaining matches, away against IFK Gothenburg or at home against IFK Norrköping, is enough to secure his first historic SM gold.
But Häcken could become a jacket champion on Monday evening if Djurgården loses points against Sundsvall.
– You are able to get away with a fighting spirit and calmness. Anders Anderson says I’m very impressed.
