Hammarby traveled to Uppsala with three points in sight, to try to close the gap to the series-leading Mjällby.

But Bajen did not have a chance against the blue-black home team.

A passive Hammarby defense let Isak Bjerkebo send in 1–0 before a quarter was played.

In the beginning of the second half, Joakim Persson and Robbie Ure added two more Sirius goals.

Today we were just too bad. Above all, a quarter in the first half that is bleak and then a fairly long time in the second half where it is bleak, says Hammarby coach Kim Hellberg to Max.

Halfway into the second half, the players were ordered off the field after objects had been thrown from the stands several times. After a shorter break, the game could be resumed – and Sirius could easily hold on to the win. Even if Nahir Besara managed to reduce for Hammarby in the last added minute.

This year's sensation team Mjällby meets Gais away on Monday evening. If Mjällby wins then, the team has a gap of eight points down to the second-placed Hammarby.
