Before the match, Mjällby had ten points in the last five Allsvenskan matches, with two straight wins behind them.
Elfsborg last came from a crazy 4-4 match against Häcken, but before that they had four straight losses (two in the Allsvenskan and two in the European qualifiers against Norwegian Molde).
It was a dream opening of the match for the home team Mjällby.
At a corner, things got messy in Elfsborg's penalty area where Silas Nwankwo won a header duel, got it back from Adam Ståhl and bumped in 1-0 from close range, with what can be compared to a karate kick.
Apart from the goal, there were no really hot situations in the first half.
Elfsborg were most successful in the attacking game but did not threaten more than with Niklas Hult's hard-pressed shots that went wide.
It looked like 1-0 would stand all the way to the final whistle.
But Michael Baidoo in Elfsborg wanted something else.
In the 94th minute, the striker received the ball a few meters outside the penalty area, then he screwed it into the far crossbar.
A class finish to 1-1 which was the last event of the match.
