It looked good for Norrköping to take three new points in the top battle against a weak Mjällby. First, the team was close to 1-0 already in the first half, when Christoffer Nyman had a ball inside, but was blown off for hard play.

But the lead came in the prelude to the second half when Sead Haksabanovic gave Norrköping the lead in the 55th minute.

Seven minutes later, Linus Hallenius would enter the field when Norrköping would make a triple change. But at the same time, Mjällby took the opportunity to equalize. Moses Ogbu, formerly of Sirius, shot the equalizer.

Linus Hallenius was alert in the debut for Norrköping, but no goal was scored by him or any other players during the last half hour.

In shared series management

Norrköping had to settle for 1-1 and share the lead in the table with Malmö FF.

- I think it felt better and better, but it is clear that I need a couple of matches. I probably have a bit left until I can start, says Linus Hallenius to Dplay after the match.

Home coach Jens Gustafsson was still quite happy with the match.

- We made a better effort than the last match. But we met a team that defended themselves dedicatedly, their defensive play was very difficult to force. All cred to their defensive game, says Gustafsson to Dplay.

My colleague in Mjällby Marcus Lants was pleased with the score.

- We meet one of Sweden's best teams. Of course we are happy with the score. After the blow against Elfsborg, we had to rub defensive play, and we did. Now we are back where we were at the beginning of the season, says Lantz.

He continued to pay tribute to equalizer Moses Ogbu.

- Moses did a fantastic job, and was strong as an ox up there. He is so worthy of the goal, says Marcus Lantz.
