Hammarby Claim Swedish Cup with Dominant Display
Hammarby secured the Swedish Cup with a comprehensive 3-0 victory over Stockholm International in the final on 26 August 2026. The away side controlled proceedings from the opening exchanges and never looked back. By then it was already shaping up to be a straightforward afternoon for the visitors.
And here's the thing — Hammarby struck early. O. Johansson found the net in the fourth minute, catching the home defence asleep at the wheel. The goal settled any nerves and gave the visitors confidence to press forward.
To be fair, Stockholm International should have responded, but instead they surrendered a second just eleven minutes later. I. Fofana made no mistake from close range after a period of sustained pressure. The home side pulled back but could not stem the flow.
The third goal arrived in the seventy-first minute through O. Hagen, who finished a move that showed Hammarby's patience. The home side had already switched off at the back and paid the price. Three goals in the first half had set the tone for the remainder.
The statistics tell their own story. Hammarby enjoyed 68 per cent possession and registered eight shots on target compared to zero for the hosts. Stockholm International managed only one shot off target and two corners throughout the entire match.
The result places Hammarby at the summit of Swedish football in the cup competition. Stockholm International will need to regroup quickly after such a thorough defeat. The visitors have now won their last five matches across all competitions.
