Icy sea air blew in over Strandvallen, presumably heavy natural grass and a both home and strong Mjällby on the other side of the center line - Djurgården faced a, in advance, tough challenge in its ambition to defend the medal spot they were in before the Allsvenskan's penultimate round .
During the initial half, Djurgården got to experience one of Mjällby's hallmarks - fast and precise changes from defense to attack.
On one of these occasions, the Stockholmers did not make it and then Jacob Bergström took the opportunity to score his sixth goal in this year's Allsvenskan.
The goal was probably not Bergström's most advanced in his career because he only had to push the ball in after teammate Joel Nilsson's fine preparation.
"Perfect"
- Perfect, make it crowded and then go on adjustments, said a satisfied Jacob Bergström in a break interview in Dplay.
- A lot of fighting and long balls, said a clearly dissatisfied Djurgård captain, Jesper Karlström.
Shortly after the break, Djurgården found the key that opened Mjällby's defense lock.
A flat ball through the offensive penalty area reached the substitute Magnus Eriksson who equalized.
Ogbu goal scorer again
The manege seemed raked for a turn of the guests but then he appeared, Mjällby's all-Swedish shooting king candidate Moses Ogbu.
In connection with a solid situation, he shot the ball through goalkeeper Tommi Vaiho's one post and into goal.
The full hit was Ogbus 14th for the season.
In that situation, Djurgården had less than half an hour to do something about the situation.
But Mjällbyspelarna did not put many feet wrong and kept away until another "big team scalp" on Blekinge soil.
