Degerfors claimed a hard-fought 2-1 win over AIK at home, overcoming a shaky opening in which Stanley Wilson's own goal handed the visitors an undeserved lead inside 15 minutes. AIK carried the better of possession throughout — finishing with 54% — but Degerfors were more dangerous when they moved forward, creating two big chances to AIK's one and edging the shot count 12 to 9. Johan Hove's composed equaliser just before half-time changed the mood of the match, and Degerfors grew into the second half with greater urgency. It was substitute Arman Taranis, introduced in the 63rd minute, who proved the difference — arriving late into the game to bury the winner five minutes from time and leave AIK with nothing to show for their territorial dominance. The result is a significant boost for Degerfors' form going into a busy period, while AIK, who collected three yellow cards and struggled to convert their corners and possession into genuine threat, will be frustrated by another dropped points tally in what is shaping up to be a competitive title race.
