- They have been waiting for this all pre-season and it was nice to get a good start.
The fans get the team and it is impossible to describe that feeling, says Williot Swedberg to Discovery +.
In extra time, substitute Williot Swedberg made it 2-0 after the Helsingborg defense did not get the ball away and the songs filled the arena.
The home crowd was not impressed when Assad Al Hamlawi came in from the right, shooting hard to score after 97 minutes.
After 18 minutes, a mistake by the home side's left defense allowed Mohanad Jeahze to get through.
At the same time, Ludwigson ran away and nodded in 1-0 from a narrow angle at the far post when HIF lost the mark.
The home heel behind the goal broke out in a long-awaited cheer when the audience was fully back after two pandemic years.
HIF pressed for a receipt.
With ten minutes left, Joseph Amoako pulled home with a hard shot that Hammarby's goalkeeper Oliver Dovin had to stretch to save.
Otherwise, Helsingborg did not create much.
Three frame hits for Hammarby
In the final minutes, Hammarby was noted for his third frame hit (actually fourth as well) when Astrit Selamani stretched out his foot on Ludwigson's post.
The ball went into the crossbar and down into the right post and went parallel to the goal line.
HIF goalkeeper Kalle Joelsson acted masterfully when he took care of the ball on the right side of the goal line.
After just over half an hour, Astrit Selmani operated on his own on the offensive half.
He pulled inwards from the left edge and fired a heavy shot high up in the far right post and the ball bounced out on the field.
It was the second frame hit for Bajen in the first half.
Nahir Besara had a shot on target after a corner kick after 20 minutes of play.
