IF Elfsborg
Elfsborg struggled to impose themselves for much of the match, conceding the lion's share of possession and territory to Hammarby. While their 4-2-3-1 setup provided some midfield solidity, they found it difficult to create clear-cut chances, managing just 4 shots on target from 13 attempts. The hosts showed determination to fight back after falling two goals behind, with Leo Östman's 77th-minute strike offering hope, but ultimately lacked the cutting edge to complete the comeback.

Weaknesses
Tactical Analysis
Both teams lined up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, but Hammarby executed their game plan more effectively, leveraging their double pivot to control midfield and dictate the tempo. Their wide players stretched Elfsborg's defense, creating space for Abraham and Besara to exploit. Hammarby's pressing forced Elfsborg into hurried passes, disrupting their buildup play and limiting their offensive rhythm. Elfsborg, meanwhile, struggled to progress the ball through midfield, often resorting to longer passes that were easily dealt with by Hammarby's organized back line. The hosts' late switch to a more attacking posture, as evidenced by their increased urgency after Östman's goal, temporarily unsettled Hammarby but ultimately came too late to salvage a result.
Turning Point
Nahir Besara's goal in the 74th minute, which gave Hammarby a two-goal cushion and ultimately proved decisive.
Man of the Match
Nahir Besara
Scored the crucial second goal and orchestrated Hammarby's attack with creativity and composure.
