But there was no particularly entertaining football on the muddy lawn at the Friends national arena in Solna.
The only danger of the first half came in the 43rd minute when Eric Kahl played the names Erik Ring to an excellent shooting position in the penalty area.
But only an okay finish - and Stojan Lukic in the Varberg goal could save.
But Ring got revenge in others - as a forward.
The 18-year-old got on the right wing and sent a precise post to Henok Goitom.
The team captain finished with a strike and scored his eighth goal of the season - the fourth in the last five matches.
"Feels like you can score with the ear type"
- When you are in a shoal, you already know that everything just goes in.
Like today, you shoot with your right foot on your left foot and it goes in.
Once you are in the crowd, it feels like you can score with the ear type, the 36-year-old tells SVT Sport.
But maybe Varberg should have had a penalty in the final minutes when Nabil Bahoui kicked Gustaf Norlin in the penalty area.
But no action from judge Andreas Ekberg - which created real irritation with the guests.
- Look at the replay, the referee, it was heard from Varbergsspelarna and coach Joakim Persson was noticeably annoyed after the final signal.
- It is not worth commenting on, he says to SVT Sport.
Why not?
- It's as it is.
Do you feel robbed, I understand that you are disappointed?
- I have not seen it in retrospect.
I experience it as if it is sunny, but it is little Varberg - then it will not be sunny anymore.
Did you talk to the referee after the match?
- Yes, he perceives it as an even melee and then we get to believe in him.
