Before the meeting, IFK Norrköping had lost two games in a row, most recently against IFK Göteborg at home barely a week ago, and now they met again.

The negative trend would continue for IFK Norrköping after losing 0-1 on Monday.

The match between IFK Göteborg and IFK Norrköping would start by swinging back and forth.

But after greater dominance and several good chances, the home team would take the lead.

Took chances

In the 29th minute, Alexander Jallow hit a sweeping cross from the right wing and midfielder Kevin Yakob filled up in the penalty area and resolutely headed in 1-0 to IFK Göteborg.

The lead goal would last the half.

IFK Göteborg would extend the lead further early in the second half.

In the 51st minute, young centre-back Johan Bångsbo drove the ball up midfield and served 19-year-old Hussein Carneil outside the penalty area, who came upright and shot the ball nicely into the goal.

The goal was Carneil's first Allsvenskan goal in his career.

- I have been chasing the first goal for a long time and it was very nice that it finally came.

Gaining the trust of the coach means everything, says goal scorer Hussein Carneil to Discovery+.

Close to extending the lead further

IFK Gothenburg's midfielder Gustaf Norlin came close to making it 3-0 after Marcus Berg fired a shot from outside that hit the post.

Norlin then got an open goal, but he didn't have time to react quickly enough.

The 2-0 result would last the match, and IFK Gothenburg has now won two straight matches against IFK Norrköping.

IFK Norrköping is now in twelfth place in the Allsvenskan, five points behind Degerfors, who is in the qualifying spot.

At the same time, IFK Göteborg has hung on top and is in sixth place, just three points behind Malmö FF.
