Defender Scores Twice to Lead Elfsborg to Victory Over IFK Göteborg

Elfsborg had not scored a goal in three matches. Then a defender stepped forward and made two. It's not often that happens, says Rasmus Wikström to Max.

Elfsborg's defender has himself a past in IFK Göteborg and several relatives who have represented "Blåvitt".

It will be fun to greet them, jokes Wikström and continues:

It (the match, ed's note) is something I've been thinking about all week. That's what happens when you meet your old team and in some strange way it usually becomes like that – the family is the worst.

IFK Göteborg started best. The home team took clear command and the lead goal after 25 minutes through the Dane Sebastian Clemmensen felt logical.

The lead seemed to be kept until halftime – then Wikström entered the picture.

In just five minutes, the Göteborg son nodded in two goals with his head for the Borås team. First on a perfect curved free kick from Besfort Zeneli and then on a throw-in from the long-thrower Terry Yegbe.

Derby, three points, it cannot get any better, says Besfort Zeneli after the match.

In the second half, "Blåvitt" tried without being really close and the guests from Borås won thus with 2–1.
