Djurgarden hosted Häcken at Tele2 Arena and dropped points for the third match in a row. The match ended 1-1 after goals from Simon Gustafson and August Priske. Djurgarden had a weak start to the season, marked by a long injury list. Before the meeting, they came from a heavy defeat against Elfsborg and hoped to be able to turn the trend on their home ground. Häcken came to play with confidence after a stable win against bottom team IFK Värnamo. When the starting lineups were presented, it was clear that Djurgarden made three changes to their team. Miro Tenho, Tobias Gulliksen and Isak Alemayehu were included from the start, while Jacob Une Larsson, Daniel Stensson and Santeri Haarala had to leave their place. During the first half hour, Häcken had a small advantage over Djurgarden but neither team created any direct chances. With ten minutes left of the first half, Hampus Finndell went to the ground after a duel with Pontus Dahbo. The midfielder was lying down and received treatment on the pitch, but was eventually able to continue playing. A relief for the Djurgarden camp, which already struggles with a long injury list. A bit into the second half, the guests took the lead through captain Simon Gustafson. This was after a messy situation in the penalty area. Gustafson picked up a rebound, passed the defenders in the crowd and calmly placed the ball in the goal. In the 63rd minute, Djurgarden equalized. August Priske made it 1-1 after a fine play by Gulliksen. After equalizing, Djurgarden pushed to take the lead, but it also opened up for dangerous counterattacks from Häcken. In the 69th minute, it was close to a goal when Isak Brusberg shot just outside after a pass from Severin Nioule. The match ended 1-1. Djurgarden now has twelve points after ten matches, three points ahead of Sirius on the qualifying spot, but with one game less played. Häcken, which is in eighth place, has 15 points and one game more played than Djurgarden. The starting lineups were Manojlovic – Bergvall, Tenho, Danielson, Kosugi – Siltanen, Finndell – Priske, Gulliksen, Alemayehu – Nguen for Djurgarden and Berisha – Öhman, Andersen, Lode, Lundkvist – Gustafson, Lech Holm, Rygaard – Brusberg, Nioule, Dahbo for Häcken.
