Malmö suffered a significant loss against FCK earlier in the week and after the match, there has been speculation about whether coach Henrik Rydström will get fired.
Perhaps the speculation will be alleviated somewhat now that, for the day rose-clad, MFF responded with an own rout.
Already at halftime, the match felt decided when the referee blew for rest with the score 3–0 in favor of the Scania team.
A quarter of an hour into the match, the Icelander Daniel Gudjohnsen opened the scoring with a powerful header after a perfectly struck corner from Otto Rosengren.
It was an important win for both me and the team. It has been a tough week but today we showed that no matter what happens, we stand together and come back, says Gudjohnsen.
20 minutes later, the same Otto Rosengren struck in a new corner that, via a rebound, reached Colin Rösler, who headed in 2–0.
We already knew that what we did (against Copenhagen) was not good enough. For us, for the fans, for everyone who is part of MFF. We all knew what we had to do now, stick together and keep going, continued Gudjohnsen.
When Rosengren then, ten minutes into the second half, curled in another corner in Halmstad's penalty area, the former HBK player Sead Haksabanovic stayed up front and established the final result at 4–0.
In Saturday's other Allsvenskan match, IFK Norrköping beat Elfsborg 2–1 at home.
