[p][b][a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/game/soccer/aik-lzqk4S68/sirius-vXr8fotG/?mid=nuyFhNgS"]AIK 0-3 Sirius[/a][/b][/p][p]For the next 24 hours at least, [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/sirius/vXr8fotG/"]Sirius[/a] hold a 10-point lead at the top of the table after their outstanding campaign continued at Strawberry Arena, where they were on top against [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/aik/lzqk4S68/"]AIK[/a] from the off before [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/svensson-victor/CrQprN8h/"]Victor Svensson[/a] slipped the ball through for [b][a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/ure-robbie/nwv3yIFM/"]Robbie Ure[/a], who got in behind an applied the 19th-minute finish.[/b][/p][p]The Scotsman then made it a brace for himself in the final 10 minutes of the first half, as [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/krusnell-oscar/xKmgSxB7/"]Oscar Krusnell[/a]'s cutback found him on the edge of the area, [b]and a big deflection carried Ure's shot past the goalkeeper[/b] for his seventh goal of the season.[/p][embed guid="8190b5d5-7a52-4300-a9f6-883656d16a0f"

Geiger[/a]'s thunderous effort against the crossbar flown a few inches lower early in the second half, but Sirius kept their clean sheet and added a final flourish in added time, when [b][a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/castegren-henrik/dnLAuAAT/"]Henrik Castegren[/a]'s free-kick sailed into the top corner.[/b][/p][p]AIK failed to build on an away win at [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/hammarby/SQsg3nME/"]Hammarby[/a] last time out and sit 11th after their two-game unbeaten run was comprehensively ended.[/p][p][b][a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/game/soccer/halmstad-Mmsc26yL/malmo-ff-tYNTdpar/?mid=dEnK10Wr"]Malmo 5-2 Halmstad[/a][/b][/p][p][a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/malmo-ff/tYNTdpar/"]Malmo[/a]'s decision to sack Miguel Angel Ramirez in midweek is paying dividends so far, as [i]Himmelsblatt [/i]ended a four-game losing run with an impressive win over struggling [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/halmstad/Mmsc26yL/"]Halmstad[/a].[/p][p]It took less than four minutes to break the deadlock, as [b][a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/skogmar-adrian/YDpjpqf7/"]Adrian Skogmar[/a] volleyed in after [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/sjostrand-oscar/fiqzQMgc/"]Oscar Sjostrand[/a]'s initial effort was blocked[/b], only for Halmstad to prove it would take more than that to turn the hosts' fortunes around.[/p][p]Three minutes later, a low cross from the left was helped on by [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/kaib-rami/b3so6xxQ/"]Rami Kaib[/a] to [b][a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/faraj-omar/zZzYi6hU/"]Omar Faraj[/a], whose shot took a huge deflection on its way in[/b] for the equaliser, and 20 minutes later, HBK were ahead when an [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/illary-marvin/hvP2Gqge/"]Marvin Illary[/a] was heading wide, [b]only for Faraj to trap the shot and turn it into the net[/b] to silence Eleda Stadion.[/p][p]But the side under the temporary stewardship of [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/molins-guillermo/0hhZf7S7/"]Guillermo Molins[/a] and Mario Chavez got themselves level again after half an hour, when a deep cross was knocked back across goal by [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/larsen-jens/ldTYqKh3/"]Jens Stryger Larsen[/a], and after a couple of ricochets, [b]sat up for [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/busuladzic-kenan/SI61iLsP/"]Kenan Busuladzic[/a] to hit from six yards[/b].[/p][embed guid="e7ef5890-2e54-4169-b4db-dd5b19d41380" url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oazj-mH1Q3s" social-type="youtube" /][p]After the topsy-turvy first half, the second period belonged to Malmo, and in particular to [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/botheim-erik/vLP0leRk/"]Erik Botheim[/a], who scored an eight-minute hat-trick to give MFF the victory. His first came at the hour, [b]flicking a Sead [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/haksabanovic-sead/CbuYfCxP/"]Haksabanovic[/a] free-kick beyond the goalkeeper[/b] with his head.[/p][p]Then, a poor clearance from goalkeeper [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/ronning-tim/8hwrpeF6/"]Tim Ronning[/a] two minutes later was cut out by Busuladzic, [b]allowing Botheim to loft the ball over the backtracking shot stopper[/b], before he claimed the match ball when [b]Sjostrand had an effort saved and the striker pounced on the rebound.[/b][/p][p]Malmo are up to ninth for the time being following their first points since 27th April, while Halmstad remain off the bottom thanks to a better goal difference than [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/orgryte/CGT7Kq4j/"]Orgryte[/a].[/p][p][b][a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/game/soccer/gais-bJewAOTf/kalmar-rkrUu5ae/?mid=GfRpm1Hk"]GAIS 3-0 Kalmar[/a][/b][/p][p]Back to winning ways and up to fifth in the standings are [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/gais/bJewAOTf/"]GAIS[/a], who needed late goals to seal the points at home to [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/kalmar/rkrUu5ae/"]Kalmar[/a], who remain without a point on the road this season.[/p][p]More trouble on their travels for Kalmar looked likely just six minutes in, when goalkeeper [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/brolin-samuel/hCDlFCsL/"]Samuel Brolin[/a] came for but didn't claim a [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/milovanovic-william/llrBEC4b/"]William Milovanovic[/a] cross, allowing [b][a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/salter-samue/tlD1Pdte/"]Samuel Salter[/a] to turn it home at the back post.[/b][/p][p]The visitors then had decent chances to score either side of the break, but their failing to take them was punished in the final 10 minutes, when [b][a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/pettersson-oscar/MNHUAWOu/"]Oscar Pettersson[/a]'s cross was looped into his own net by [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/hallberg-melker/xtX1eEu6/"]Melker Hallberg[/a][/b], before [b][a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/lindberg-jonas/KEQffATg/"]Jonas Lindberg[/a]'s corner was headed home by [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/cardaklija-anes/rid6WUmf/"]Anes Cardaklija[/a].[/b][/p][p]It's now just one league loss in eight for The Mackerels, while Kalmar sit 12th, three points clear of the bottom three.[/p][embed guid="4138a2e7-5bf1-4144-84c8-8b750e7d69a7"
