Round 1 done and dusted

Round 1 has ended with a few goals here and there. There were four 0-0 draws around the grounds and a total of just nine goals over the eight games. Not a great start in terms of goals but with the whole season ahead more will arrive. Reuben Ayarna and Kristoffer Nordfeldt were both sent off becoming the first players to be sent-off in 2010.

IFK Goteborg looked impressive away to Kalmar on Saturday while AIK looked edgy against Mjallby as did Elfsborg. BK Hacken, Helsingborgs and Orebro all won while Malmo and GAIS shared the spoils in Goteborg.

All this means IFK Goteborg lead the way with three points but only on goal difference from Orebro, BK Hacken and Helsingborgs. Kalmar bottom but hopefully not for long.

This coming weekend we have some good games. A Stockholm derby between IF Brommapojkarna and AIK, a Goteborg derby with IFK and BK Hacken going head to head and next Monday, Malmo host Orebro in what should be a cracker at the Swedbank Arena.
