Sirius' dream of unbeaten season ended by champions Mjallby in all-time classic

[p][b][a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/game/soccer/mjallby-S0XtXM1E/sirius-vXr8fotG/?mid=CvlbM7WF"]Mjallby 4-3 Sirius[/a][/b][/p][p]There was cause for concern for [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/sirius/vXr8fotG/"]Sirius[/a], who sold the division's top scorer [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/ure-robbie/nwv3yIFM/"]Robbie Ure[/a] to Sevilla just hours after throwing away a 2-0 lead to draw at home to [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/brommapojkarna/ELVAW0WQ/"]Brommapojkarna[/a] last time out, as their lead at the top was cut to 12 points.[/p][p]Still, with such a healthy advantage and without defeat in 16 matches, they would have been confident of getting back to winning ways at [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/mjallby/S0XtXM1E/"]Mjallby[/a], who were dumped out of the UEFA Champions League qualifiers in midweek and were hovering just above the bottom three after going winless in eight in Allsvenskan.[/p][p]The match in Hallevik looked to be going to form when Sirius went in front just six minutes in, when the division's new top scorer [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/bjerkebo-isak/K2bsu3sF/"]Isak Bjerkebo[/a] cut in from the left, and when his shot from the edge of the area was deflected, [b]it dropped nicely for [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/liimatta-osto/Ot6F6hMk/"]Otso Liimatta[/a] to divert in[/b] from eight yards and score his first goal since signing from [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/halmstad/Mmsc26yL/"]Halmstad[/a].[/p][p]It was 2-0 midway through the first half when [b]a dreadful header back from [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/svanberg-ludvig/E9VV9jMT/"]Ludvig Svanberg[/a] allowed Liimatta to nick in ahead of goalkeeper [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/wallinder-robin/6XfvDP2K/"]Robin Wallinder[/a] and roll the ball into the empty net[/b]. But by injurying himself in the act of scoring, Liimatta was able to play no further part.[/p][p]But Sirius seemed to be doing just as well without him, extending their lead 10 minutes later, when [b]Bjerkebo raced onto a loose ball and kept on running, right into the heart of the MAIF box, before coolly finishing[/b] past Wallinder.[/p][embed guid="a35b0773-df5f-481d-97e6-559c0cbfd456" url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=03Hol2gxGZE" social-type="youtube" /][p]Whatever Karl Marius Aksum said to his players at the break, it had the desired effect. As did his substitutions - three of which he made at the break and two new additions combined less than a minute after the restart to get Mjallby on the board.[b] [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/nielsen-max/SzUK3Vw3/"]Max Nielsen[/a] squared to [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/lindberg-olle/pja2DGZO/"]Olle Lindberg[/a], whose low effort went in off the post.[/b][/p][p]It was game on again in the 54th minute, when Sirius made a mess playing out from the back, and [b]an [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/samuelsen-aki/WhuqC2ZC/"]Aki Samuelsen[/a] interception was picked up by [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/bergstrom-jacob/dbZg4Slj/"]Jacob Bergstrom[/a], who applied the finish[/b] for 3-2.[/p][p]The same duo combined again 13 minutes from time as Mjallby completed the comeback - this time [b]Samuelsen played a precise ball over the top for Bergstrom, who shrugged off his marker, opened up his body and slot his second of the game between the goalkeeper's legs.[/b][/p][p]And with three minutes of the 90 remaining, the home side did the unthinkable, and it was the original combination of Nielsen and Lindberg that did the damage.[b] Nielsen used his pace down the right wing to get to the byline and dig out a cross right onto the head of Lindberg, whose header went straight through the gloves of Celic[/b], to give Mjallby the most incredible victory.[/p][p]It's a first league win for Mjallby since beating [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/degerfors/zNSwBuue/"]Degerfors[/a] on 9th May, and their first home league victory since April. That moves them up to 10th for the time being, while [b]Sirius have been beaten in the league for the first time since 29th September.[/b][/p][p][b][a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/soccer/sweden/allsvenskan/"]Follow all the action from Allsvenskan on Flashscore.[/a][/b][/p]
