After Häcken "only" got 2-2 at home against Mjällby the day before yesterday, Norrköping had tonight made a small jerk in the battle for second place behind Malmö FF, which is rushing for the Swedish Championship gold.
They seemed to take that chance.
Haksabanovic with two assists
Despite being 0-1 behind after the first half (Henok Goitom nodded in a corner, the team's basically only chance in the half), they led for a long time with 2-1.
Already 52 seconds into the second half came 1-1, when Jonathan Levi thumped Sead Haksabanovic's input into the crossbar.
Hands gave punishment
Less than four minutes later came 2-1, when Henrik Castegren nodded in Haksabanovic's corner.
- It's too bad!
We come from an incredibly fragile season, and it becomes a difficult situation when we go on shit the first thing that happens.
We stress ourselves and end up wrong and they make it 2-1, summed up AIK's Sebastian Larsson in Dplay after the match.
AIK then got more and more ball the longer the half went, but had a hard time creating chances.
Despite that, they got a point.
Lars Krogh Gerson took Stefan Silva's corner kick with his hand, and the referee Kristoffer Karlsson pointed to the penalty spot.
Several chances at the end
Sebastian Larsson stepped forward (who hit the corner that gave 1-0), and certainly shot the ball into goal.
- It felt like it was hanging in the air, says AIK's coach Bartosz Grzelak in Dplay.
2-2 stood out since the match, despite a couple of chances in both directions.
- There are two teams that can win here in the end, states Sebastian Larsson in Dplay.
Thus, Malmö consolidates the first place, and now has ten points down to Häcken and Norrköping - which now has seven matches at home without a victory.
The last time they won in Norrköping was against Varberg on 22 July.
The last time they went so long without winning at home was in 2008.
