Häcken cruise past table-toppers Sirius in Allsvenskan
Sirius and Häcken met at Studenternas IP on Thursday evening, and the visitors left with a comfortable 0:3 win in the Allsvenskan's eighteenth round. The hosts led the table before kick-off with forty-two points from nineteen matches, while Häcken sat fifth on thirty-one. What followed was a performance where the away side controlled proceedings without needing to chase the game. By then, the result was never really in doubt.
The breakthrough came in the twenty-eighth minute when J. Lindberg found the net for the visitors. Häcken doubled their advantage shortly after the break, G. Lindgren scoring in the sixty-second. The away side put the game to bed early in the second half with a third goal, also by G. Lindgren, in the eightieth minute. Melker Heier had picked up a yellow card for Sirius in the seventh, and Gustav Lindgren was cautioned for the visitors in the sixty-fourth. Mohamed Soumah received a booking for the hosts in the seventy-eighth minute.
On the pitch, Häcken enjoyed slightly more possession at fifty-three per cent to Sirius's forty-seven. The visitors registered four shots on target compared to two for the hosts, and created two big chances where Sirius managed none. Sir
