It was not possible to separate Hammarby and Häcken after 120 goalless minutes, when the team was defeated at Tele2 Arena in the Swedish cup final.
Although the match flashed at times, it was usually quite cool, unlike the weather in a Stockholm bathing in sunshine this Sunday.
Akinkunmi Amoo threatened the green and whites the most and another jumper, Ali Youssef, was hot in the other direction - but no one broke the deadlock.
Charged extension
In extra time, Häcken's attacking star Alexander Jeremejeff was sent off after hitting his foot and forehead against goalkeeper David Ousted.
Just before the penalty shootout, Hammarby's team captain Jeppe Andersen also pulled on his second yellow card when he stopped Youssef in a counterattack.
The penalties were high-class, but when Bénie Traoré missed for Häcken - the only miss - they had the green and white victory within reach.
When the decision was made, it was through Astrit Selmani, who widened the fifth penalty, before he was concise after the decision.
- To all of you who did not think that "Bajen" would win - sch!
said Selmani to SVT's Johan Kücükaslan - and jogged off to celebrate.
"Now people can be quiet"
Shortly afterwards he returned, with cramps in both groins, and developed:
- There has always been talk that we never win, never take titles.
Now people can be quiet.
For me, it's the only thing I go on, if people continue to talk shit, I will continue to increase the pace, says Selmani and continues:
- Winning a title is difficult and we do it as a collective.
This is important for the club and the fans.
We will not get out of here.
It will be replenished by fans.
All "bajare" - enjoy!
It was Hammarby who won, with Zlatan Ibrahimovic in place, and thus took his first cup gold ever.
