2 – 4
“Kristian Strømland Lien restored Djurgården's lead in first-half stoppage time, arriving at the end of sustained pressure that included two corners and an Aslund save. Having been pegged back by Lindberg's equaliser, Djurgården went into the break with momentum firmly on their side — a goal against the run of play that proved decisive in shaping the second half.”
Pivotal“Strømland Lien completed his brace on 73 minutes to make it 1-3 and effectively end Häcken's hopes. The goal came after a wave of Häcken pressure — a Lindgren header saved, a corner, a Lindberg shot saved — but once again Djurgården broke decisively upfield and buried their chance with the ruthlessness that defined their evening.”
Pivotal“Substitute Nino Žugelj arrived off the bench to put the contest firmly to bed on 86 minutes, finishing from a right-footed effort to make it 2-4 just three minutes after Sadiku had given Häcken a lifeline. Any notion of a late comeback was extinguished immediately.”
Pivotal“Substitute Mikael Marques was sent off in stoppage time — just three minutes after coming on — to cap a dreadful evening for Häcken. The red card was the final indignity on a night when statistical superiority counted for nothing.”

Outstanding performance
Djurgården•AttackerDjurgården were ruthlessly clinical in a result that belied Häcken's dominance with the ball. The home side finished with 58% possession, 538 passes at 88% accuracy and 66 dangerous attacks, yet it was Djurgården's 18 shots and 12 on target that told the real story — they punished every lapse with cold efficiency. Oskar Fallenius put the visitors ahead inside five minutes, and though Julius Lindberg levelled for Häcken on 29, Kristian Strømland Lien scored twice either side of half-time to take the match away from the hosts. Substitute Bamir Sadiku pulled one back on 83 to give Häcken brief hope, but Nino Žugelj — also off the bench — immediately killed the contest four minutes later, before Mikael Marques was dismissed in stoppage time to complete a miserable finish for the home side. For Djurgården, the win reinforces their title credentials and continues a strong run of form; for Häcken, it is a sobering reminder that controlling a match means nothing without converting big chances.
