After ten straight matches without defeat, IFK Göteborg was overpowered last weekend by Hammarby, who won with a whole 6–2 at the Tele2 arena.

Despite the sudden big loss, it was without much confidence that the team received Sirius at home at Old Ullevi.

Already after 30 minutes of play, a well-playing "Blue White" had gone up a stable 2-0 lead.

Lassa Vibe showed the way when he put the ball into the net after an effort from Victor Wernersson.

Up in shuttles top

And with half an hour played, the lead doubled after Robin Söder stayed in the penalty area and pushed his 13th goal of the season.

"It is good to stay close to goals," said the striker in C Moore's mid-term interview and added that his team stood up well after the miscalculation in Stockholm at the latest.

- This week we talked about being aggressive after the Hammarby match. We have been aggressive in our press and tried to dictate the game.

His 2-0 goal meant he went up in split shooting with Hammarby's Muamer Tankovic.

- If you stay in the penalty area, chances are you will score goals, if you are out in the corners it will be more difficult.

Sirius created a nerve in the match in the second half when Kebba Ceesay mounted a free kick and nodded the reduction.

"Wanted revenge"

However, IFK Gothenburg held off, won by 2–1 and is now - with a match more played - three points after the third Malmö at the last European place.

Hosam Aiesh is looking forward to the future and is happy to be back on the winning track.

- We wanted revenge today after the game against Hammarby, it was tough, says the new acquisition from Östersund and looks forward to the upcoming away trip - even the one in the capital against top resistance.

- Now we look forward to the AIK match, he says.
