Sunnanå saw off Bergnäsets 3-1 in the opening round of the Swedish Cup on Tuesday evening, the visitors booking their place in the next stage. The match took place at Bergnäsets' ground on 11 August 2026, and by then Sunnanå had already shown they meant business. And here's the thing — they had been searching for consistency ahead of this fixture.
Sunnanå's recent run told its own story. They had lost four of their last five outings, including narrow defeats to Kif Örebro and Elfsborg, with only a 1-1 draw against Häcken II offering any comfort. To be fair, this cup match gave them a chance to turn a barren spell around, and they took it.
By then the visitors were out of sight, Bergnäsets had been out-thought on the touchline, and the result felt inevitable. Sunnanå had nothing to do all evening in the second half, Bergnäsets had nothing to do all evening, and the visitors were dominant in the air from set plays.
The old head settled them down, and the table goes out of the window in these games. Sunnanå ended a run of poor form with this victory, Bergnäsets held a high line that was punished, and the visitors turned to the kids when it mattered.
By the final whistle Sunnanå had hit a wall of resistance that Bergnäsets simply could not break. The scoreline reflected a comfortable progression for the visitors, Bergnäsets were overrun in midfield, and the result meant Sunnanå moved on while their opponents went home disappointed.
