Malmo 1-2 Helsingborgs 19th March 2011 Super Cupen

Helsingborgs took revenge at the Swedbank arena on Saturday as they ended up adding the Super Cupen to their collection. Having won the Svenska Cupen last season, Helsingborgs also missed out on the title to their opponents here but took some revenage with a good victory. They were ahead barely two minutes into this contest as Marcus Nilsson nodded them ahead. Malmo though showed promise and were back level through Brazilian Wilton Figueiredo just after the quarter-hour mark. The game swung in spells after that with a couple of half-chances falling to both sides. Jeffery Aubynn was shown red with eight minutes remaining which gave Helsingborgs the numerical advantage which they would capitalise on not long afterwards. Erik Sundin so impressive last season picked up hero status on the day when his last minute goal gave Helsingborgs the victory and the Super Cupen. A perfect start to 2011 for Helsingborgs as they look to go one better in the league this season.
