It did not take long for Hammarby's new acquisition Adelrahman Saidi to introduce himself to his new club.
The former Degerfors striker stayed ahead and nodded in 1-0 for Bajen after a post from Nahir Besara already in the eighth minute.
- I was actually surprised, I'm not so good with my head.
But sometimes I can shock my head, Saidi said in Discovery's broadcast after the first 45.
It was a half game where both Hammarby and Elfsborg lined up high-scoring chances.
For example, Saidi had the opportunity to score another goal, that on a free kick, but then Elfsborg goalkeeper Tim Rönning stood in the way.
But just before the half-time break, Gustav Ludwigson was able to extend the home team's lead to 2-0 after being cleared by Besara and coolly placed the ball.
Ludwigson became the scorer again after being released again, now from about half the pitch.
Elfsborg goalkeeper Tim Rönning came out of his goal, far outside the penalty area, which allowed Ludwigson to poke aside and lift the 3-0 goal in the 75th minute.
A goal that definitely closed the end of the match.
The victory made Hammarby climb past Malmö FF to fourth place in the Allsvenskan.
