Just three days ago, Malmö FF and Häcken played 120 minutes without scoring on each other at Eleda Stadium.

On Sunday, it didn't even take nine minutes.

After a somewhat tangled corner situation, the ball fell at the feet of defender Johan Karlsson, who scored 1–0 for the home team and thus scored his first goal in the Malmö jersey.

And after just over half an hour of football, there was another player who would score a long-awaited goal, in the form of Kenan Busuladzic.

Signed an A-team contract in March

Despite being only 18 years old, Busuladzic was very calm in the finish, and rolled in 2–0. The goal was Oskarshamn's first A-team goal in his career.

It was magical, I think you saw it in my reaction too, he says to Max and continues:

You've always wanted to score a goal in front of this fantastic audience, and now I got my second start too, so it was fun.

As recently as March 2025, Busuladzic signed an A-team contract with Malmö FF, and just over a month later, he made his first start for the reigning champion club. In the 79th minute, the 18-year-old was substituted to great applause.

New win for "Blåvitt" – while Djurgården lost

The win, which was written 3–0 after a final goal from Isaac Kiese Thelin, means revenge for Malmö's part, who lost the cup final against just Häcken. Before the summer break that is now approaching, the team is in fifth place in the Allsvenskan table.

Right below Malmö lies IFK Göteborg, which with its 3–1 win against Brommapojkarna in one of two parallel matches on Sunday morning now has three straight wins.

It wasn't quite as cheerful in the Djurgården camp, after the team lost 0–1 away to Halmstad. Central defender Filip Schyberg scored the only goal of the match.
