Cameroon winger Eric Bassombeng has left Orebro to join GAIS. The news follows months of speculation surrounding Bassombeng's future. 
Gefle put another result on Åtvidabergs as they ended up 4-2 winners. Jonas Lantto put the hosts ahead after two minutes before Sebastian Senatore was sent-off four minutes later. Jakob Orlov made it 2-0 to Gefle ten minutes into the 2nd half before Amir Suljic pulled a goal back for the basement side on 75 minutes. Hjalmar Öhagen made it 3-1 five minutes later but were pegged back again by Åtvidabergs at 3-2 when Oscar Möller scored. Dragan Kapcevic sealed victory for Gefle with three minutes to go to give Gefle a vital three points.
The big derby was won empathically by IFK as they continue their flying week. Jonas Henriksson though gave BK Häcken a 4th minute lead which IFK clinically turned around.
Stefan Selakovic, scorer against AZ leveled here on eleven minutes after which Hannes Stiller made it 2-1 on 32 minutes.
The 2nd half bought more goals as Elmar Bjarnason made it 3-1 to the visitors on 58 minutes. Selakovic got his brace on 64 minutes before he completed his fine hat-trick with three minutes remaining.
A signal of intent that IFK are not out of the running for a Europa league spot come the end of the season while BK Häcken need a spirited performance next week.
A game Örebro will want to forget but the game did change in that two minute period in the first half in which Malmö went 2-0 up.
The game was tight until Jiloan Hamad made it 1-0 with a strike from outside the area before Jimmy Durmaz, formally with Örebro side BK Forward crossed for Agon Mehmeti to head past John Alvbåge barely two minutes later.
The game was Malmö's as they controlled the passing and needing to get a goal back Astrit Ajdarevic and Anthony Flood were thrown on. Just as Flood entered the pitch Nordin Gerzic was leaving after a deliberate handball which resulted in a penalty. Daniel Larsson, who scored a hat-trick here, last year converted the spot kick to seal a massive three points.
A game of twists and turns but a game GAIS deserved to win. Mervan Celik headed GAIS into a 38th minute lead before it was doubled by Celik himself from Eyjólfur Hédinsson's delivery.
Mjällby are in the hunt for a European spot on merit and pulled a goal back through leading scorer Marcus Ekenberg on 49 minutes.
Björn Andersson made it 3-1 to GAIS from the spot on 86 minutes before Mjällby got a 2nd through Juan Robledo in added time.
A draw in a fantastic game at the Olympia, the result though will give Malmö a chance to make some ground on Helsingborgs tomorrow.
It was Djurgården who struck first through Kennedy Igboananike on 42 minutes. Helsingborgs' Marcus Lantz was sent-off which appeared to turn Helsingborgs' evening sour. There was nothing, however sour about new recent signing Alexander Gerndt's evening.
The new signing from Gefle made it 1-1 on 54 minutes before getting his brace three minutes later. Djurgården did hit back and were level on 65 minutes as Matias Jönsson marked another goal since his return. Sharbel Touma struck as Djurgården re-took the lead on 70 minutes. It looked like all three points were going to Djurgården until Gerndt completed his hat-trick to rescue a point for Helsingborgs in added time.
IFK Göteborg are also out of the Europa League despite beating AZ Alkmaar 1-0 at the Gamla Ullevi. Down 2-0 from the first leg in Holland, IFK needed a 3-0 win to advance. They could only manage the one but did at least beat their Dutch opponents.
A single strike from Stefan Selakovic on 67 minutes was enough to seal victory on a night that former favorite Pontus Wernbloom played at the Gamla Ullevi for the first time since leaving IFK last summer.
Örebro held on to 3rd place ahead of Saturday's big game with 2nd placed Malmo with a 2-0 victory down the road at Åtvidabergs. The game opened in style with Nordin Gerzic giving Örebro the lead after nine minutes with a fantastic strike that could challenge Samuel Wowoah goal against Elfsborg in the goal of the season award. Åtvidabergs though are struggling an conceded another goal when Paulinho made it 2-0 on 66 minutes to become the clubs highest scorer this season. A massive game with Malmö awaits for Örebro while Åtvidabergs need to start getting wins soon.
Just like on the opening day IFK put three past Kalmar and got three points. Kalmar though have a though Europa league tie on Thursday.
The game was tied up by IFK in the first half which began with an 11th minute goal from Hannes Stiller before Tobias Hysén made it 2-0 just after the half-hour mark.
Hysén got a second just three minutes later to make it 3-0 and end any possibility of a Kalmar fight-back. Kalmar though did manage to get a goal, something they will have to do in Sofia with Douglas Silva putting pay to Markus Sandberg's clean sheet hopes.
Title challengers Malmö are still in the hunt after a narrow win over GAIS. A sole Ivo Pekalski goal on 22 minutes was the only difference between the sides in a tight match. GAIS will be disappointed at not getting something out of the game but for Malmö it's job done in another game. Malmö will be hoping for a slip up by Helsingborgs in their trip to Stockholm tomorrow.
Mjällby can consider themselves unlucky but the result probably was fair as AIK came looking for a vital win to steer them out of trouble. With a massive Champions league tie in Trondheim coming up new boss Alex Miller wasn't keen to rest some players as they need a run of form to improve things at the Råsunda. Miller though might be happy with a point from this as many sides this season have failed to get anything out of trips to Mjällby.
Djurgården's season is beginning to change into a disaster as they were left wondering what happened as BK Häcken walked away with three points and three goals. However the 2nd half was where the goal mouth action happened. The first arrived on 63 minutes with talisman Jonas Henriksson putting the visitors ahead. Djurgården did pressurize but went 2-0 down with nine minutes remaining with Mathias Ranégie making it safe before Paulinho added a third in added time to seal a fine day for BK Häcken. Djurgården you get the feeling we have been here before?
A good tie for both sides, IFK were slight underdogs due to their mixed season so far but did look fresher than their Dutch counterparts at times. However it was a disappointing result for IFK as they were beaten 2-0 on the night with goals from Ragnar Klavan and Johann Gudmundsson both strikes in a five minute period early in the second half. IFK 2-0 down heading into next week's 2nd leg so goals will be the objective. A familar name will also be at the Gamla Ullevi next week too.
Beaten for only the 2nd time, last week by BK Häcken, Helsingborgs were not going to let the same feat happened twice. The table-toppers have been top on merit this season and showed why against BK Häcken. Mattias Ostberg gave the away side a shock lead on 12 minutes before the Olympia out-fit struck. Erik Sundin with his first of the night on 29 minutes levelling the scores before he made it 2-1 to the hosts just after the hour. Markus Holgersson got in on the scoring on 73 minutes to secure the three points to keep Helsingborgs at the top by five points from Malmö.
The quarter-final line-up for this year's Svenska Cupen sees both Stockholm rivals kept apart but a great game in prospect with AIK hosting Helsingborgs this weekend.
9th July: AIK v Helsingborgs (17:00)
10th July: Örebro v Mjällby (17:00)
11th July: Kalmar v Gefle (17:00)
21st July: Hammarby v IF Brommapojkarna (tbc)
1st July:
Hammarby 3-1 Elfsborg: A shock for Elfsborg as they were dumped out of the cup by a superior Hammarby side on the day. The recently relegated Stockholm giants took an early lead through Sebastian Castro-Tello after nine minutes before 2nd half goals from Petter Furuseth and Castro-Tello gave Hammarby a commanding 3-0 lead. Martin Ericsson pulled a goal back for the Allsvenskan side but it is Hammarby who advance to the quarter-finals.
2nd July:
Jönköping Södra 0-2 Örebro: High-flying Örebro progressed to the quarter-finals of the Svenska Cupen after overcoming Superettan strugglers Jönköping Södra 2-0. Both goals came from Brazilian Paulinho Guará, who is starting to pick up some form right now as Örebro head into the next round.
4th July:
Mjällby 4-1 Malmö: Properly the standout result of the last 16 was Mjällby easily progressing to the last 8 with a thumping 4-1 win over Malmö. The game will be remembered for Mostapha El-Kabir's wonder show as he scored all four goals while Malmo had Guillermo Molins pulling a goal back before striker Edward Ofere was sent-off. So Malmö out while Mjällby will be a threat in the last 8.
GAIS 0-0p IF Brommapojkarna: A penalty shoot-out victory saw IF Brommapojkarna advance to the last 8. A 0-0 shutout over the course of 90 minutes and extra-time was settled when Pär Asp converted his crucial penalty for IF Brommapojkarna to record a 4-3 win on penalties.
5th July:
Helsingborgs 2-1 BK Häcken: The double-dream is still on for Helsingborgs but they were made to work for their last 8 place. John Chibuike's strike twelve minutes from time looked to have put BK Häcken through but two late goals from Mattias Lindström and Erik Sundin ensured the last 8 place was Helsingborgs.
Ängelholms 1-2 AIK: AIK are still in the hunt to re-claim the Svenska Cupen after surviving a scare here at Superettan side Ängelholms. It was the hosts who took a quick and shock lead when Mikael Dahlgren struck. AIK responded later on with a goal from Martin Lorentzson which took the tie to extra-time. AIK won the tie with a late, late goal from Antônio Flávio which sealed their last 8 place.
IFK Göteborg 3-4 Kalmar: Sunday bought IFK Göteborg and Kalmar together and they didn't disappoint. They ended up playing out a 4-3 thriller with Kalmar advancing to the last 8. It was Kalmar who struck first when Ricardo Santos lashed through. IFK were level though just minutes later thanks to a strike from Tobias Hysén. Two minutes later and Kalmar regained the lead through Erik Israelsson and that lead was doubled when Ricardo Santos tucked away his 2nd of the game. Tobias Sana was sent-off as IFK looked to get back into the game. They made it 3-2 when Icelander Theodór Bjarnason found the net on 77 minutes. Just when time was running out IFK forced extra-time when Jakob Johansson scored in injury time. Kalmar were to have the last laugh as they struck in the 118th minute to dash the hopes of IFK as Marcel Sacramento's goal put Kalmar through.
Ljungskile 0-1 Gefle: Gefle are through to the quarter-finals after a narrow 1-0 win over Suprettan side Ljungskile. Playing in front of a sparse crowd the game wasn't a classic but did have a crucial goal that took Gefle through. That goal arrived in the 69th minute thanks to Alexander Gerndt. Gefle are safely through.
AIK have sold two key players ahead of their champions league campaign next week. Bojan Djordjić and Martin Kayongo-Mutumba have been sold to Hungarians Videoton.
Both players played a key part in AIK's 2009 Allsvenskan success and after those the number of key players from that side sold is now eight after Daniel Örlund, Jos Hooiveld, Jorge Ortíz, Iván Óbolo, Markus Jonsson and Miran Burgič.
AIK though have signed ahead of the resumption of their domestic season with Robert Åhman-Persson signing from Malmö who joins new faces Admir Ćatović (Väsby United), Ivan Turina (free), Goran Ljubojević (NK Zagreb) and former Elfsborg star Helgi Daníelsson (Hansa Rostock) as the club look to change their lowly league position.
