Kalmar 0-3 IFK Goteborg 13th March 2010

The start that IFK Goteborg were looking for. The runners-up last year set about their intentions of winning that title in October by comfortably dispatching a surprisingly below-par Kalmar side.

The away side were ahead within the half-hour with 2009's joint top-scorer Tobias Hysén getting off the mark.

Five minuets into the 2nd period Hysén got his 2nd as IFK took control of the game. Kalmar had few chances and were hit with a killer 3rd on 67 minuets when Hjalmar Jonsson slotted past Petter Wasta. The Icelandic may become a vital player this year for the Goteborg giants.

A fantastic start for IFK but Kalmar will definitely need to improve if they are to come close of emulating the 2008 title win.
