AIK lost 1:2 to Sarpsborg 08 in a club friendly on Thursday at their home ground. The match took place on 4 September 2026 and ended with the Norwegian side taking all three points. No goals, substitutions or other minute-by-minute events were recorded for this fixture.
Sarpsborg 08's recent run shows mixed results, with four defeats in their last five games against Frisk Asker. They lost 2:3, 1:2, 3:4 and 1:6 before beating Narvik 2:1 at the end of February. That win was their only result outside of matches against the same opponent.
AIK have been busy with friendlies in September, playing five matches in less than two weeks. They lost 3:5 to BIK Karlskrona on 2 September, but had earlier beaten Almu twice and Vita Hästen 3:0. The 1:4 defeat to Linköping HC in mid-August was their only loss in that stretch.
This result means Sarpsborg 08 ended their run without a win against Norwegian opposition, while AIK's recent form continues to be inconsistent. The Swedish side had been unbeaten in four of their five matches before this fixture.
The friendly offered a chance for both teams to test themselves against different opposition. Sarpsborg 08 showed they could compete away from home, even if their recent results have been disappointing. AIK will need to find more consistency in these pre-season games.
