Not since Elfsborg beat Falkenberg 4-2 on 13 August had Boråslaget won the Allsvenskan.
Now that suite is broken after a convincing effort against a pale Kalmar FF, which is increasingly anchored at the bottom of the table.
- Very nice, but I think we have done pretty good performances and scored goals and created chances in the previous matches, says Elfsborg's Per Frick to Dplay.
- So it was above all focus defensively and not letting go of so many chances.
It is not possible to concede three goals in matches, then it is difficult to take three points, he continues.
Two Danes started the shooting
When the shooter king Jesper Karlsson left for AZ Alkmaar in the Netherlands, other players had to appear as goal scorers.
It was two Danes who started the goal shooter.
Frederik Holst came close to putting the visiting team one up 23 minutes into the match, following a solo raid down the middle, but Joseph Stanley Okumu managed to tip the ball to a corner.
Just four minutes later, Jeppe Okkers managed a cross from Rasmus Alm and was able to roll in 2-0 completely free.
Kalmar FF had a very difficult time shaking the home team, despite a couple of offensive changes at the break.
Israelsson netted
Per Frick was able to make it 3-0 on penalties after Rasmus Alm was sent off with just over half an hour left and despite Erik Israelsson reducing a quarter later, the home victory was never threatened.
Kalmar FF is now last in the Allsvenskan.
Almost on Sunday, an important match against second-placed Falkenberg awaits.
