Elfsborg beat Malmö to stay in the race for Europe

Elfsborg's Arber Zeneli gave his team a dream start when he put them 1-0 up after just five minutes.

Malmö recovered from the shock start and less than 20 minutes later Jens Stryger headed in the equaliser for 1-1.

But this would be Elfsborg's afternoon - before the first half was over, Momoh Kamara had rolled in 2-1.

Malmö created several chances to equalise, despite having to play with 10 men for much of the second half after Malte Frejd Pålsson was sent off.

But the half-time score stood. Elfsborg is now just two points from the European places in the table.

In the parallel match, table-toppers Halmstad and eighth-placed Gais played 1-1.
