At Strandvallen, there were two teams that wanted to take a long-awaited victory.
Before tonight's match, Mjällby had six straight matches without three points and AIK has not won since they defeated Sirius 2-1 on July 20 - five rounds ago.
Moses Ogbu is Mjällby's by far best goal scorer this season. Even more after this meeting with AIK when the Nigerian became a two-goal scorer already in the first half and now stands on six goals in the Allsvenskan.
At half time, it was Mjällby who led 2-1 and AIK coach Bartosz Grzelak told Dplay that his team needed something positive to work on at the beginning of the second half.
But the positive for AIK did not materialize.
"Hard to see flashes of light"Instead, it was Ogbu again who was involved when Mjällby extended its lead a quarter of an hour from the end.
He threw a throw into the AIK penalty area, 19-year-old Taylor Silverholt spliced the ball further and Max Watson put his forehead to and 3-1 was a fact.
After the match, Grzelak had a hard time finding anything positive to take with him after another loss.
- We have to believe in it. We have started something here and we must believe that it will change. We must realize that we can not give away as simple goals as we do and give ourselves that uphill. Then it will be very difficult to come back. But right now it is very difficult to see any flashes of light, he says to Dplay.
"One of our better matches"It was all the happier in the Mjällby camp.
- One of our better matches at Strandvallen this year. We come out with a great energy and make it hard for AIK. We win the match fairly, says striker, David Löfquist.
Next, Djurgården is waiting on the away field for Mjällby while AIK takes on Östersund.
