Mjällby took the third straight victory: We got up well

It took two initial losing matches for Mjällby to wake up.

Five rounds later, the reigning champions have won four and drawn one.

Against Degerfors, the match was close at half-time. Jeppe Kjær made it 1–0 with a well-placed long-range shot. Center back Tom Pettersson scored 26 minutes later with his first goal of the season, before Abdoulie Manneh made it 3–0.

"We have risen in a good way. The last few matches show good performances, which lead to good results," Stroud, who scored the 4-1 goal, told TV4 Play.

Mjällby is now three points behind leading Sirius, who have played one fewer game.

In Västerås, the home team lost 0–1 to Gais.
