Elfsborg, who is the big favorite in their group, faced Degerfors in the first group game in the Swedish Cup.

Degerfors, who are newcomers to the Allsvenskan this year, stood up well against the home team.

And the first half was goalless.

But in the other, it would explode.

In the 60th minute of the match, Degerfors midfielder, Nicklas Maripuu, was sent off - and immediately after, Sargon Abraham put 1-0 to the guests.

- We dare to play our game.

A big compliment to everyone who played today, says match hero Sargon Abraham to C More.

However, the tone was not as happy in Elfsborg.

- It's so damn sour to lose, says Simon Strand.
