However, one of those three, six minutes before the break, allowed them to make the breakthrough. [/p][p]A cross from the left wing wasn't cleared by [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/dyrestam-mikael/OIozFA2d/"]Mikael Dyrestam[/a], [b]instead diverting it to [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/bjerkebo-isak/K2bsu3sF/"]Isak Bjerkebo[/a], who still had plenty to do, before finally creating shooting space and firing low across the goalkeeper[/b] and into the bottom corner.[/p][embed guid="0504b41f-c071-4c38-9cd2-169ece0a5df8" url="https://x.com/fotbollskanal/status/2053894034037330346" social-type="twitter" /][p][a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/jonsson-neo/0thvOQnM/"]Neo Jonsson[/a] had the chance to put the game beyond doubt in a second half that was more even, but with 17 minutes to play, it was Bjerkebo who was again the difference maker.[/p][p][b][a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/persson-joakim/W8LUHRIn/"]Joakim Persson[/a] chased a long ball down the right, got beyond his marker and squared it for Bjerkebo to put the ball beyond the goalkeeper and into the roof of the net[/b] for what is already his eighth goal in seven Allsvenskan matches this season.[/p][p]The Uppsala side are up to 19 points from a possible 21, five ahead of [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/hammarby/SQsg3nME/"]Hammarby[/a] and [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/elfsborg/rBi9iqU7/"]Elfsborg[/a]. for Orgryte it's a fourth defeat in their last five and they stay in the bottom three after they were overtaken by [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/kalmar/rkrUu5ae/"]Kalmar[/a] earlier this weekend.[/p][p][b][a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/soccer/sweden/allsvenskan/"]Follow the 2026 Allsvenskan on Flashscore.[/a][/b][/p]
