We don't do everything perfectly today, but we do the job anyway, says Paulos Abraham, Hammarby's prestige acquisition who also became a goal scorer, to TV4 Play.
Abraham came to Hammarby from IFK Göteborg – and just those teams meet in the quarterfinals this weekend.
The decisive match at home started like a nightmare.
Home goalkeeper Warner Hahn dropped the ball after a corner, which led to Anthony Olusanya being able to lob in the leading goal for former Allsvenskan team Kalmar FF in the 13th minute.
But Hammarby turned it around.
Just seven minutes after the visitors' leading goal, profile acquisition Paulos Abraham was able to equalize, and in added time in the first half, Tounekti became the match winner when he rolled in 2–1.
Paulos Abraham has scored goals in all three of Hammarby's cup matches so far.
The winner of the match was guaranteed group victory, but in the event of a draw, FC Stockholm – which won 2–1 away against Varberg – would take first place.
But Hammarby held on.
Thus, the team becomes the only one of the three big Stockholm teams to advance to the quarterfinals.
Both AIK and Djurgården were eliminated already in the group stage.
Malmö FF–Elfsborg.
IFK Norrköping–Trelleborg.
IFK Göteborg–Hammarby.
Mjällby–Häcken.
The matches will be played on 8-10 March.
The semifinals were also drawn: the winner Malmö/Elfsborg–Göteborg/Hammarby, Mjällby/Häcken–Norrköping/Trelleborg.
