IFK Göteborg 1-2 AIK 1st November 2009

The Chammpionship play-off if you like was a nervous display from both sides but it was AIK who emerged victorious on an afternoon that they ended their long wait for the title. Having a one point lead before play AIK knew at least a draw would secure that long-awaited title for the Stockholm giants. But if was IFK Goteborg who took the lead through veteran Thomas Olsson on 32 minutes. As it stood it was IFK who were going to the win the title. Ten minutes into the 2nd half it was level when Brazilian Antonio Flávio struck. Both sides made changes as time ran out and AIK took the lead with five minutes to play with captain Daniel Tjernstrom grabbed the goal that ultimately secured the title. AIK's first title since 1998 and after 12 years the black and yellow side of Stockholm are celebrating again.
