Djurgården had a rocky start to the new year.
At home against Vasteras, there was a 4-2 loss.
Djurgården lost a match last year against AIK. In the first match of 2023 things did not go any better when there was a home loss against Västerås with a score of 4-2.
Without the players playing for Sweden’s JVM it was very difficult and just over 15 minutes into the game Blake Speers scored the first goal for the away team, his second in a Västerås shirt.
When the game was half played, it was time for Västerås to widen through Anthon Eriksson before Eriksson himself missed a great chance.
– Of course it will be two goals from my team, he told C More.
But Djurgården was in touch when Daniel Brodin pressed in on the rebound four minutes before the end of the second half.
– It’s great to see her come in, says Broden to C More.
In the final period, Djurgården chased an equalizer, but instead Lukas Zetterberg made it 3-1 with 3.30 left.
Djurgården scored before Anton Ericsson scored his second of the evening and punctuated the action with a 4-2 open box and second straight loss for Johan Garbinlöf’s side.
But for another Stockholm team, things went better. AIK, who struggled to win away from home, snatched their first three points of the season at home tonight in a 3-0 win over Kristianstad. The organizer of the victory was Daniel Muzito Bagenda, who scored two goals for AEK.
