The table leader Mjällby received Öster, who is in thirteenth place in Allsvenskan, at Strandvallen. Then it became an unexpected loss of points for Mjällby, the match ended 1–1. It feels like a loss and it's not something to hide, says Mjällby coach Anders Torstensson to HBO Max.

I think we make a really good first half and have control over most things, we also start okay in the second. Then in a deficit, Öster becomes offensive and desperate, if you want to express it that way, and does it really well, continues Torstensson.

Mjällby took the lead on a corner after Axel Norén headed the ball to 1–0 with half an hour played.

The home team had a chance to extend with just over ten minutes left of the match, when Jacob Bergström was awarded a penalty. But Elliot Stroud missed it, and instead Öster equalized just minutes later.

Magnus Christensen came highest on Daniel Ljung's cross and headed in 1–1.

I think we deserve it, the second half is glittering, the players do what I've asked them to. We have four or five great chances and the second half is very, very good, says Öster's interim coach Roberth Björknesjö.

Mjällby remains at the top of the Allsvenskan table, now eleven points ahead of second-placed Hammarby who have one match less played.
