Västerås claimed the Swedish Cup Final with a 2:1 victory over Enköping on Tuesday evening. The match at the stadium saw the visitors overturn an early deficit to lift the trophy on 2026-08-19. Enköping had looked comfortable for the first half before the game turned.
And here's the thing about that opening goal — A. Omondi gave Enköping the lead in the 27th minute. The hosts camped in the final third and their patience paid off. They moved the ball around nicely before finding the cut-off pass that split the defence.
Västerås responded before the break through A. Boudah in the 44th minute. To be fair, they were second to everything in possession but made up for it with direct runs behind the back line. The equaliser came from a quick transition that caught Enköping off guard.
The decisive moment arrived in the 63rd minute when J. Karlsson put Västerås ahead. By then Enköping had thrown everything at the game, but the visitors sat deep and soaked it up before striking. Karlsson's finish was clinical — one shot, one goal, and the cup was theirs.
The statistics tell a story Enköping would rather forget. They held 54% possession and registered 76 attacks, yet managed only two shots on target. Västerås showed greater efficiency with 46% possession, 83 attacks and six shots on target. Both teams collected three yellow cards between them.
The result means Västerås finish as Swedish Cup winners despite a recent run that included that heavy 0:6 defeat to Djurgården. Enköping go home with silverware denied and questions about how to convert possession into genuine danger.
