Simon Thern, who played three seasons in Norrköping, made sure to give his Gothenburg the lead in the 40th minute.
After an assist from Marcus Berg, he placed the ball at the far post, and did not hold back the celebration against his old team.
- Mackan has it in, so I had a little time.
If you shoot where the goalkeepers come from, they usually have a hard time standing, he tells Discovery Plus during the break.
Unexpected hero
Gothenburg goalkeeper Warner Hahn has mixed and given this season.
Tonight he had to act something of a hero.
In the first half, he made a great save when Godswill Ekpolo looked for a far cross.
In the second half, he made an even sweatier save when Jonathan Levi had to shoot free from the penalty spot, after preliminary work from new acquisition Arnor Sigurdsson.
Norrköping's crisis deepens
The match ended 2–0 after the Norrköping defense offered Kevin Yakob an open goal.
Norrköping, who fired coach Rikard Norling before the last match against Malmö FF, continues to have a tough time in the Allsvenskan.
They have not won since May 15, then against GIF Sundsvall, and have only 16 points in 15 games played.
