[## "Skönt och rättvist"] Elfsborgsmidfielder Simon Olsson's 0–1 in the first half, with a distinct finish after good work by Momoh Kamara, became the match's only goal. Isak Pettersson, Elfsborg's goalkeeper, had several things to do when Mjällby made little counter-attacking efforts at the end. But together they felt like 0–2 was closer than 1–1.
"Inte ett dugg konstigt"
After the match, several Mjällby players were present for the quarter-final match with disappointed fans. "They are frustrated and angry. I understand it to 110 percent. They give their hearts, souls, finances, and lives for us, but now they only frustrate us all the time. It's not a little strange that frustration bubbles over," said Tom Pettersson, Elfsborg's midfielder, to Blekinge Läns Tidning.
Mjällby has gone eight consecutive domestic matches without a win. The last win in all Swedish competitions was on May 14th when they won the Swedish Cup against Hammarby. On May 9th, their next match is against Degerfors.
Aksum om läget: "Inget bra svar"
After half of the season, Mjällby's ninth-place team has four points from qualifying and one point ahead of another 'crisis' European round, IFK Göteborg. Trainer Karl Marius Aksum, who was promoted to head coach before the season after being an assistant to Anders Torstensson previously, asked about the situation after the match how serious it actually is. "No, not very and seriously... We only know for sure in seven or eight matches, when we are at. So I have no good answer on that," he said to Blekinge Läns Tidning.
