Loss against Brommapojkarna at home last Sunday when home supporters boycotted the match after the supporter group was stopped from bringing in an overhead flag.
Additionally, more black headlines after reports that club director Håkan Mild was forced to police protection after threats.
Away against the bottom team Öster, however, came a welcome sporting success in the hunt for a European spot.
It was goal king Max Fenger who showed the way when he broke his six matches long goal drought.
Even though he had a certain degree of luck.
Kolbeinn Thordarson's shot was deflected by Fenger's thigh and in behind the outstanding Öster goalkeeper Robin Wallinder in the 62nd minute.
Then Öster had just over ten minutes earlier got captain Ivan Kricak sent off for his second yellow card when he pulled down a storming Fenger.
Thordarson got his reward in the 89th minute when he secured the three points by making it 2–0.
IFK Göteborg moved up to the same points as third-place AIK in the hunt for top-3 which gives a European spot.
Now it's full focus, there are five finals left, says Fenger about the top 3 hunt.
