FootballSM gold to little Mjällby. How did it happen? Here are listed five points that lie behind this year's football bang.
FootballMjällby will have to wait even longer to be crowned Swedish champions in football for the first time. Hammarby grasped the last straw for the SM gold after 2–1 in the derby against AIK. We have the entire match, says match hero Montader Madjed to HBO Max.
FootballA village with around 1,500 inhabitants can celebrate a Swedish Championship gold. Mjällby's achievement is a football sensation. It is completely unique in the entire football world history, says sports researcher Torbjörn Andersson.
FootballA historic national championship gold can be celebrated somewhere on E6 in Halland. Mjällby players can become champions in training clothes in a bus on the way to Göteborg. I do not care at all how we take the gold, as long as we take it, says veteran Jesper Gustavsson.
FootballOne single goal separated Mjällby from a secured Swedish Championship gold. But goalkeeper Noel Törnqvist is not worried about any upcoming gold fever. We will be more hungry than ever, he says.
FootballThe champagne will have to be put on ice. The planned gold dinner is cancelled. Mjällby will have to wait at least two weeks to celebrate the league gold. It was of course disappointing. I would have liked to stand here and celebrate, says defender Tom Pettersson to Blekinge Läns Tidning.
FootballPlayers, leaders and supporters in and around Mjällby followed nervously IFK Göteborg–Hammarby. But no help from Göteborg came. Hammarby won with 2–1 and Mjällby's potential gold party is postponed to the future.
FootballMjällby's Tom Pettersson was the first to dare believe in the Swedish Championship gold in football. As early as Sunday, it may become a reality. Now there is no one laughing anymore when I say that we will win, he says.
