HK Malmö defeated Kara 34–28 in the Swedish Cup on Tuesday evening. The away side took all three points from the contest, which ended with a six-goal margin in their favour. The result leaves Kara winless after three matches in the competition.
Kara sit fourth in the league table with three games played, three draws and no points. HK Malmö occupy second place after three matches, with two wins, one draw and four points. The standings show the gap between the two sides is already clear.
Kara's recent record before this cup tie includes results against Tabi and Onnereds, while HK Malmö have been busy with IKF Kristianstad in May. Those fixtures suggest both sides have been finding rhythm ahead of the cup fixture. The away team's form against Kristianstad looked mixed, with two wins and two losses across four matches.
A six-goal difference is not overwhelming, but it is enough to secure the win. HK Malmö held their nerve when it mattered, and that is what separates them from a side that has yet to taste victory. The result means the away side moves clear at the top of their pool.
