Djurgarden receives mixed player ratings after 2‑1 win over Häcken

Djurgarden finished the weekend Allsvenskan match with a 2‑1 victory at Friends Arena, but the player ratings reveal lingering issues. Goalkeeper Jacob Rinne and centre‑back Jacob Une Larsson earned only three and two points respectively, while attacking midfielder Bo Hegland reached four. The team currently sits fifth in Allsvenskan with 49 points after 30 games, on a recent form of WDWLD.

Which players delivered and which fell short?

Jacob Rinne was given a rating of three. He made several saves but couldn’t prevent Häcken’s first reduction, which came from close range. Despite a solid second‑half effort, a poorly executed return handed the opponents another chance. Piotr Johansson also earned three points and continued to show both defensive stability and offensive thrusts, making him one of Djurgarden’s most complete defenders right now.

How did the defence affect the game?

Centre‑backs Miro Tenho (2) and Jacob Une Larsson (2) received low scores. Tenho’s early yellow card forced a cautious approach, and he failed to leave a mark on the match. Une Larsson performed his duties without flair, indicating Djurgarden needs more power in central defence to reach the top. Max Larsson (2) contributed an assist but struggled defensively, especially on the left where Häcken applied heavy pressure.

What role did the midfield play in the win?

Matias Siltanen earned three points after a calm display but was responsible for Häcken’s first goal following a missed reception. Despite the error, he continues to set the team’s tempo. Bo Hegland reached four points and was a constant headache for Häcken, making key runs and providing an assist to Ninos’ goal. Hampus Finndell (3) kept developing, reading the game well, breaking Häcken’s buildup and giving Djurgarden a chance to recover.

What do the ratings mean for the club’s ongoing battle?

Even with a strong attack led by K. Lien, the top scorer with six goals in ten appearances, and a +20 goal difference (52 scored, 32 conceded), the low defensive scores show Djurgarden still lacks the solidity needed to challenge league leaders Mjällby AIF, who sit 26 points ahead. The injury to M. Nilsson, currently sidelined, worsens the picture. The team must tighten the back line and cut mistakes in the final third of games to stay in the top tier.

What’s next for Djurgarden?

The coach will likely focus on defensive tweaks before the next fixture, giving Miro Tenho and Jacob Une Larsson clearer roles. Meanwhile, Bo Hegland and Hampus Finndell can keep driving the attack, especially with K. Lien in front. If the side can turn its strong offensive numbers into more points without conceding, they could close the gap to the leaders and push higher in the table.
