Malmö Triumphs in Robin Olsen's Allsvenskan Return

3688 days. That's how long it's been since Robin Olsen played Allsvenskan football. Now the national team goalkeeper has made a comeback – and it resulted in a win directly against IFK Norrköping. Very many emotions, says the goalkeeper to Max after the match.

Most recently Robin Olsen played in the top division was on June 7, 2015.

On Saturday, it was time again for the national team goalkeeper when IFK Norrköping visited Malmö FF at Eleda Stadion.

Something that became emotional.

Nerves was not it. It was a lot of feelings. It was special to just come out for the warm-up. It was goosebumps, says Olsen to Max after the match.

After just over 30 minutes, Malmö FF broke the zero. Sead Haksabanovic pushed in 1-0 in an open goal - the winger's first goal in competition for the club.

With about ten minutes left, MFF definitely decided. Substitute Emmanuel Ekong ran free and placed 3-0 in the far corner.

However, IFK Norrköping got a consolation goal in the final minutes when Christoffer Nyman reduced.

And it could have been another reduction.

In the 93rd minute of the match, Olsen made a giant save when he saved Isak Sigurgeirsson's free shot and prevented more goals against his Malmö FF.

It's a good save. At the same time, it's what I'm here for, says Olsen.

With the win, MFF secured fifth place in the top division table. IFK Norrköping is twelfth.
