IFK Gothenburg won this year's cup final and has only lost five of the season's first 18 Allsvenskan matches. But - only two recorded three-pointers mean that the team is currently fighting in the Allsvenskan bottom battle.

Pontus Wernbloom is back in IFK Gothenburg after his years abroad. On his return, in the draw away match against Djurgården, the 51-time Swedish A national team player jumped in with half an hour left to play.

Now "Blåvitt's" coach Poya Asbaghi ​​chose to play Pontus Wernbloom from the start, in an attacking position.

- Really fun, actually, Wernbloom told Dplay about being back in the Allsvenskan.

In the 25th minute Blåvitt took a step towards a long-awaited victory when Patrik Karlsson Lagemyr, via both posts, shot the ball into goal. Pontus Wernbloom was very much involved - by cleverly jumping the ball under its path to the goal scorer Karlsson Lagemyr.

- I think we looked really good, rolled around and had patience, said Pontus Wernbloom to Dplay about Blåvitt's first half.

So far, everything looked good for Blåvitt's part. But Mjällby was anything but abandoned. A few minutes after the break, the team was awarded a penalty that team captain David Löfquist set safely.

Was IFK Gothenburg perhaps on its way to the eleventh cross of the season? With 20 minutes left, a penalty kick still looked to be Blåvitt's way towards a three-pointer. Tobias Sana got the chance from the penalty spot - but shot the ball post and out.

It is noteworthy that Sebastian Eriksson injured himself in his comeback and was forced to retire after just a few minutes of play. Substitute Victor Wernersson made a substitution in his last blue and white appearance before moving to Mechelen, Belgium.
