Djurgården secured a 4:3 victory over Malmö Redhawks in a club friendly on 10 September 2026. The hosts got over the line despite a spirited response from their visitors. Neither side had been particularly convincing in their recent outings.
Malmö came into the match with only one win from their last five games. They had lost four straight before picking up a 3:1 victory over Frölunda on 27 August. Djurgården's record was similarly strained, with just a single success in that span. Their 4:1 win against Brynäs on 3 September stood out as an exception.
The result ended a run of poor form for the home side. Djurgården had lost three of their last five matches before this friendly. Malmö Redhawks also carried a heavy burden of defeats into the contest. They had fallen in four of their previous five games.
Both teams had faced each other earlier this year with mixed fortunes. Djurgården lost two matches against Malmö in March, scoring one goal in each defeat. This time around the home side collected the points. The scoreline suggested a closely fought affair.
The friendly served as preparation for both clubs ahead of the upcoming season. Neither side can claim momentum from this result alone. Djurgården at least turned a corner in front of their own fans. Malmö Redhawks will need to find more consistency going forward.
