Västra Frölunda IF — IF Elfsborg, Svenska Cupen

Elfsborg produced a clinical display to defeat Västra Frölunda IF 4-0 in the Swedish Cup Final on 18 August 2026. The visitors took control early and never looked back, ending their opponents' cup defence with a comprehensive victory. And here's the thing — this wasn't a game Frölunda could really influence from the start.

Elfsborg struck first through F. Aronsson in the 16th minute. F. Ihler doubled the lead just 14 minutes later, before H. Lindskog added a third in the 34th. By then, the tie was already over.

R. Mohammed closed out the scoring in the 88th minute, but the damage had been done long before. Frölunda found no answer to the pressure, and their attack simply stalled.

The statistics tell the story. Elfsborg enjoyed 70% possession and registered 128 attacks compared to Frölunda's 63. The visitors had 11 shots on target — Frölunda managed none.

Elfsborg's recent run of form has been steady, with wins against Westeros and Mjällby, though they've tasted defeat to Sirius and GAIS. Frölunda's last five games show a worrying pattern — only one win from five, including that heavy 4-0 loss to Tvåkers IF back in February.
