Loss by 1-5 in Scotland against Aberdeen on Thursday.
Would there be a reaction to the Allsvenskan on Sunday for Häcken?
A Häcken that went undefeated under new coach Per Mathias Högmo.
But Häcken was able to keep the team together and fix a point against a strong Elfsborg who came to Hisingen with four straight victories.
Elfsborg otherwise got a dream start when Per Frick made it 1-0 in the 10th minute.
But Häcken came back and equalized through Alexander Jeremejeff before the first half was over.
If the first half was well played, the 45 final minutes became more of a position war.
Irandust back in play
It was a match without a winner, where Häcken also aired one of the squad's sharpest players.
Daleho Irandust came into the second half after a long-term injury and had to play just over half an hour.
- It feels better than in a really long time.
It's been a long time without playing time, and I'm happy with every minute I get, he tells Discovery +.
He was not only happy with the playing time, but also praised the coach Högmo.
- He has a lot of energy.
This can be seen in both the team and him.
We have good fighting spirit in us, says Daleho Irandus.
For Elfsborg, the point meant the fifth match without a loss.
Boråslaget is still third in the table.
- I think we are both quite disappointed with one point.
We have a lot of post positions, and maybe we should get another ball in, says Elfsborg's Simon Strand.
