Arch-rival Djurgården held out well in an even and low-scoring match. But in the first minute of overtime, Hammarby scored a decisive goal.

Midfield star Nahir Besara elegantly passed the ball to Paulos Abraham just inside the penalty area. The 23-year-old made no mistake and coolly slotted in the winning goal.

A really bad match, not a great match. But really nice, Besara tells Expressen.

The victory means that "Bajen" will play in the semifinals next weekend, against the winner between Sirius and IFK Göteborg.

The loss to Djurgården means that Hammarby cannot reach the European Games this summer, as they would have needed to win the Swedish Cup to qualify.
