19,712 spectators were in attendance when fourth in the table Malmö were visited by third placed Hammarby.

It was a hot match where a total of seven warnings were handed out, perhaps understandable given the conditions.

If they win, MFF would pass Hammarby in the table, a position that Malmö did not manage.

In the first half, apart from the football, it was an event in the stands that stole the attention.

A case of illness in the stands meant that the match had to be interrupted, but could later be resumed after medical personnel intervened.

Giant parade at the end saved Hammarby

In the end it was extremely close for Malmö.

In the 86th minute, Anders Christiansen finished with the wide side, towards the first cross.

Hammarby's goalkeeper Oliver Dovin stretched out and made a super save.

- It was a good rescue, says Dovin modestly in Discovery+.

- You don't have time to think much, he then says.

The match ended goalless and Hammarby missed the chance to catch up at the top, while Malmö missed the chance to overtake Hammarby in the table.

- We wanted to go for three points, but we told each other before that after the match we should be able to look each other in the eyes and say that we performed and did everything we could, and I think we played a good match today, says Oliver Dovin in Discovery+.

Hammarby's boring result against the top four teams continues.

The Stockholm team has not won any meeting with either Malmö, Häcken or Djurgården.

Hammarby have also never won at the New Malmö Stadium since it was inaugurated in 2009.
