It took two goals from Elfsborg in the second half through Taylor Silverholt and Ari Sigurpálsson to rescue a point in the 2–2 match at Borås arena.
Somewhere you have to be somewhat satisfied with a draw, says Elfsborg's central defender Sebastian Holmén to Max and thinks about the deficit at halftime.
Mjällby was clearly the better team during the first act. Nicklas Røjkjær scored 1–0 in the 20th minute and nine minutes later, Herman Johansson headed in 2–0.
The first half is really good from our side. I think we totally outplay them and should have had 3–0 at halftime, says Mjällby's team captain Jesper Gustavsson to Max and continues:
In the second half, we stop playing. We don't attack, we just keep the ball. Then we're harmless.
Elfsborg took over and dominated, especially the last half hour, but had to settle for a point.
Now Malmö FF – who won their premiere away against Djurgården (1–0) on Saturday – awaits on the road on Monday in about a week for the Borås team.
It's always nice to get a point (in the premiere), but regardless, we'll go down to Malmö and get revenge after the cup exit, says Sebastian Holmén.
MFF, who are ready for the final, knocked out Elfsborg with 1–0 in the quarterfinal of the Swedish Cup.
