Helsingborg's goal result since returning to the Allsvenskan is not impressive.

Young striker Assad Al Hamlawi scored the team's only goal so far in the away premiere against Hammarby.

After that, the goal scorer came to a complete standstill and Helsingborg had to leave both the home premiere against IFK Gothenburg and Sunday's match against Sirius in Uppsala goalless.

The newcomer's intended goalie Anthony van den Hurk, who scored a goal in the Superettan, certainly managed to score a ball on the Students' IP but in the wrong goal.

"Pure bad luck"

Sirius midfielder Jaime Roche put in the twelfth minute a perfectly balanced corner towards the Helsingborg goal where it was a nod duel and - unfortunately for the guests - a beautiful own goal signed by van der Hurk.

-Pure bad luck and things that happen once in a hundred, stated the Dutchman who in Discovery + also had thoughts about why Helsingborg's passing game often ends in nothing instead of a sharp goal chance:

-We have a hard time getting the decisive last pass, we do not have people inside the box when we have created situations and often fit once too much instead of taking shots, he analyzed.

For Sirius, of course, it was just to thank and receive.

The Uppsala team has started the season with three newcomer meetings in a row and has used this somewhat unusual game schedule in a good way with a win against GIF Sundsvall in the premiere, one point away against Värnamo after a goalless match in round two and three new healthy sticks against Helsingborg on Sunday which has given a fourth place in the table so far.

And even if it was only one (self) goal against Helsingborg, there were close more for the home team.

"We feel stable"

Sirius star Christian Kouakou offered a nice nod and Jaime Roche on a sharp free kick in the first half, but both were bitten after alert interventions by Helsingborg goalkeeper Kalle Joelsson.

Just Roche also had almost an open goal with the hour played but pulled the return that came to him over instead of into the goal.

In the 75th minute, incoming Assad Al Hamlawi was extremely close to still equalizing for the guests, but Sirius goalkeeper Tommy Vaiho only had time this time and has thus kept a clean sheet in two of his three Allsvenskan matches so far for the Uppsala team.

-We make a good match, we feel stable.

We have developed since last year, can take an early 1-0 lead and then hold for another 75+ minutes, says Christian Kouakou to Discovery +.
