Abdoulaye Faye scored 1–0 in stoppage time and sent Häcken to the semifinal in the Swedish Cup.
The late winning goal away against Mjällby means a semifinal meeting at home next weekend against either Norrköping or Trelleborg.
I'm the happiest man in the world right now. It was a tough match, but we fought until the end, says Faye to TV4 Play.
Faye forced in the winning goal in the 94th minute on Samuel Leach Holm's perfect cross from a free kick.
This is the most important goal of my life, says 20-year-old Faye, who came to Häcken in the summer of 2023 and was loaned out to Örgryte in the Superettan last year.
