2 – 4
“Hampus Finndell broke the deadlock for Djurgården just 10 minutes in, converting to make it 0-1 after Dino Besirevic had already tested the AIK goalkeeper with a left-footed effort in the opening minute.”
Pivotal“Mikael Marques struck on the stroke of half-time to restore Djurgården's two-goal advantage at 1-3, killing off any momentum AIK had built after Filling's 22nd-minute reply — this was the moment that truly ended the contest as a contest.”
Pivotal“Dino Besirovic reduced the deficit to 2-3 shortly after the hour mark following a flurry of substitutions from AIK's bench, briefly rekindling tension in the derby before Djurgården reasserted control.”
“A wave of yellow cards between the 70th and 84th minutes — including bookings for Jani Honkavaara, Stanley Wilson, Adam Ståhl, Bersant Celina, and even manager Jose Riveiro — reflected the boiling tensions of a derby that had long since been decided on the pitch.”
“B. Hegland put the result beyond any doubt four minutes from time, completing a 4-2 scoreline that flattered neither side — Djurgården were the better team from first whistle to last.”

Outstanding performance
Djurgården•MidfielderDjurgården were ruthless where it mattered most, converting four of their ten shots on target while AIK's dominance in possession — 57 percent — counted for little against opponents who were clinical in front of goal. The visitors struck twice in the opening 16 minutes through Hampus Finndell and Miro Tenho, and although Kevin Filling pulled one back for AIK in the 22nd minute to offer fleeting hope, Mikael Marques restored the two-goal cushion on the stroke of half-time to effectively end the contest. AIK's Dino Besirovic gave the scoreline brief respectability at 2-3 in the 64th minute, but a second half that generated only two important moments of note — compared to seven in the first — told the story of a team that had run out of ideas, and B. Hegland's 86th-minute strike sealed an emphatic 4-2 win. Djurgården created four big chances to AIK's one, and their save count of just three compared to AIK's six underlines how rarely they were threatened. For AIK, sitting in mid-table, this is a damaging result both in terms of points and morale; for Djurgården, the victory keeps them firmly in the title conversation.
