Mikael Stahre was back in the booth for IFK Gothenburg on Monday night.
In front of singing home supporters at Ullevi, however, the Gothenburg team did not manage to play home the victory.
Instead, they broke the cross-suite (five straight draws) with one loss.
Elfsborg's captain Johan Larsson won the match.
An entry from the left found a lone Larsson in the back part of the penalty area and he was able to clinically place the ball behind Giannis Anestis in the Blåvitt goal.
Sana missed the penalty
Blåvitt had a golden chance in the first half to take the lead.
Tobias Sana got the chance from the penalty spot, but Tim Rönning made a great save.

Got a great chance in overtime
After 94 minutes, a mistake by the home side's left defense allowed Sigthorsson to get through.
From a meter away, after a tangled corner, he managed to place the ball over the crossbar.
Mikael Stahre, who also turned 46 this day, thus did not get a taste start on this stay in the Gothenburg club.
The other returnees Marcus Berg and Oscar Wendt were not present and played against Elfsborg.
