"Gnaget" got a penalty against them in the first half after center back Sotirios Papagiannopoulos pushed Tobias Gulliksen in AIK's penalty area. Marcus Danielson scored Djurgården's goal on the subsequent penalty in the 26th minute.

It's completely unreal. I've watched many football matches in my life and never seen that, ever. I'm completely shocked, says John Guidetti, according to Aftonbladet.

I hope the referee comes and explains himself, we haven't had a penalty in 40 matches. I've been pushed around a bit during these 40 matches. But in the next match, if someone pushes me, then I expect a penalty. If that's where we're going to set the level, continues the 33-year-old striker, according to Expressen.

Anton Salétros equalized for AIK in the 83rd minute and the match ended 1–1.
