Paulinho has only made ten starts this season but was noted today for his eighth goal when he neatly shot 1-0 in the 21st minute.
Brassen stood for a nice reception in the middle of the step and then shot half volley to the far post. A high-quality campaign from last season's Swedish shooter king (then 20 meets).
Young game distributor Daleho Irandust, 21, stepped up shortly afterwards as he stepped inward and placed 2-0 with his left foot.
From nowhere, Falkenberg reduced when Kirill Pogrebnyak nodded 1-2 after just over half an hour, but Häcken kept away and the runner Kwame Kizito put 3-1 in the final minutes after a nice deep ball by Irandust in the first position. Paulinho determined the final result with a distance shot at stoppage time.
With Peter Abrahamsson suspended, club icon Christoffer Källqvist, 36, made a comeback in the goal despite putting his gloves on the shelf last year to become a goalkeeping coach. This was his 497th match for Häcken.
