Sam Larsson's 1-0 penalty for IFK Göteborg in the 63rd minute looked like it would give "Blue and White" three crucial points in the bottom half of the Swedish football table.

But there was no victory celebration for the home fans at Gamla Ullevi. Despite several chances to settle the game, it was instead Elfsborg's Leo Östman who saved a point for the Borås side.

It's two points lost, that's how it feels, says IFK coach Joachim Björklund to TV4 Play.

The result means that Gothenburg remains in 12th place in the table, four points behind Degerfors, who are in the relegation play-off place. Elfsborg are fourth.

At the same time, Västerås and Kalmar played out a 0-0 draw.
