Trelleborgs 1-0 Halmstads 2nd August 2010

Trelleborgs have struggled this season but are starting to catch good form. A hard-fought win in Gefle was followed by this effective 1-0 win over Halmstads who are also struggling this season.
The game was neck and neck with neither side prepared to gamble until Matias Adelstam's strike with twelve minutes to go proved to be the decisive goal that gave Trelleborgs the three points.

IF Brommapojkarna 1-3 Helsingborgs 2nd August 2010

Following Malmo's victory yesterday, Helsingborgs responded with the same result as the three points went down west. Helsingborgs though didn't have it all their own way as a Babis Stefanidis goal after two minutes gave IF Brommapojkarna the lead. Stefanidis ironically a Malmo player until last year.
2nd half began in style for Helsingborgs as Rasmus Jonsson leveled scores on 49 minutes. Christoffer Andersson gave the table toppers the lead just two minutes later before Ardian Gashi continued his impressive season with a third goal to complete a memorable five minute period for Helsingborgs.
Sinan Ayranci was sent-off in added time to complete the day for Brommapojkarna who were blown away by that Helsingborgs frenzy.

Elfsborg 1-0 Gefle 1st August 2010

Elfsborg capped off a good week with a 1-0 victory over Gefle that puts them firmly in the race for a Europa League spot for next season.
Stefan Ishizaki, among the scorers in mid-week got in on scoring again as his 24th minute strike was enough to secure victory for the Boras club and keep them within distance of Orebro in 3rd. Gefle though they stay in the mix for the relegation battle.

IFK Göteborg 3-1 Kalmar 2nd August 2010

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.

Malmö 1-0 GAIS 1st August 2010

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 0-0 AIK 31st July 2010

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 0-3 BK Häcken 31st July 2010

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?
