IF Elfsborg won 1-0 against Kalmar FF on Sunday after a goal from Momoh Ibrahim Kamara in the 51st minute. The goal came from a through pass by Leo Östman and was Kamaras fifth of the season in Allsvenskan. Kalmar FF have now gone seven matches without a win and have not scored in over 450 minutes of play. Isak Pettersson made a save on a shot by Nassef Chourak in stoppage time and said afterwards: "It is indescribable. One of the finest things we have, to do that when we lead by one." Assistant referee Niklas Nybergs flag broke during the match, causing a delay of about three minutes while he retrieved a replacement. Per Frick made his return from injury, coming on as a substitute in the final minutes, his first appearance since April 17. IF Elfsborg sit fourth in the table and remain in contention for a European spot. Kalmar FF have the same points as Degerfors but have played one more game and lie below the relegation playoff place. The win was important for Elfsborg as it strengthens their position ahead of upcoming fixtures. The team faces an away match against league leaders Sirius on October 18. IF Elfsborg currently have 31 points from 20 games with a goal difference of +7, having scored 28 and conceded 21. Recent results include a win over Degerfors, a draw with Göteborg and a loss to Brommapojkarna before Sunday's game.
