Prior to the match, Mjällby announced that the offensive key player Abdoulie Manneh was missing due to injury. In addition, the club has recently sold the star Niclas Røjkjær to Danish Nordsjälland.

This did not prevent the team from stepping on the gas immediately against Sirius and arranging a dream start away on Studenternas IP.

Elliot Stroud scored the lead already in the seventh minute and was shortly thereafter also involved in the 2–0 goal that Jacob Bergström put in the net after confused defensive play from Sirius.

"Very fun to play"

Stroud was back in the starting eleven again after suspension and the winger was in good playing mood.

It was some week ago that one played so it's nice to be back. It's just very fun to play football right now, he said to Max during the break.

Sirius created some life in the match again with ten minutes left. Jakob Voelkerling Persson stayed up front and scored the reduction from close range.

But no closer than that did the Uppsala team get and Mjällby collected yet another important three points.

Match winner suspended

The match winner Jacob Bergström received a warning, which means that the striker will miss the next match, the top match against AIK.

It's "damn". Then there's the U21 match next week too, so it's double pain. It's sad of course, but the guys will manage without me, it's no problem, said Bergström to Max.

With the win, the team makes a small leap in the top of the table in the battle for the SM gold. With 37 points played, they are shadowed by Hammarby on 33 and AIK on 32 points.

For Sirius, the battle continues in the other region of the table. The team is parked in a thirteenth place.
