On July 21, 2013, Djurgården moved into the Tele2 arena and since then they had never lost by more than three goals.

That streak was broken today.

Series leader Elfsborg went on a knock and won the summit with a whopping 4-0.

Alexander Bernhardsson scored the opening goal after two minutes of play, set up by Jeppe Okkels, who a little later rolled in 2-0 on a penalty.

And in the 42nd minute it was 3-0 after a pattern attack where Johan Larsson kicked Okkels for his second goal.

“Ashamed”

On the way into the dressing room, Djurgården was booed by the fans.

– With all rights. You are ashamed. It’s not good enough to be Djurgården, says Hampus Finndell to Sportbladet.

– We get into it completely obliquely. We are passive in the beginning where Elfsborg picks up almost all second balls and stands and sleeps after a throw-in and is behind after just a couple of minutes, says Thomas Lagerlöf.

Biggest loss

In the 66th minute, Sveinn Aron Gudjohnsen extended the score to 4–0, which was the final score and thus the historic loss was a fact for Djurgården.

– You have to apologize to the fans. They didn’t come here to see us lose by four goals, says Joel Asoro.

– Maybe it wasn’t something you expected when you woke up this morning, that it would be 4-0. I don’t know if it’s completely fair in terms of the match picture either, but we are very effective when we counter and take advantage of opportunities, says Jeppe Okkels.

Elfsborg now makes a small move at the top of the table.

– As a coach, I am very proud of the players, says Jimmy Thelin.
