The fence brought the game to the beginning but Halmstad was not harmless and stuck up in a counterattack and Boakye got his forehead on the ball but could not keep it down on goal.
But instead it would be the home team who took the lead. Mikkel Rygaard struck.
– We talked a lot about changing sides with the ball and I knew there was a gap on the far post, says Mikkel Rygaard after 45 minutes of play, he said about the goal to Discovery+.
Baffo about HBK’s first half in the same broadcast:
– We know that we are facing a very good team, perhaps the best in the series. It’s fast here on the artificial grass, but it’s important to get out of their pressure.
At the beginning of the second half, Halmstad equalized after Kazper Karlsson shot and on Abrahamsson’s return, Jack Cooper-Love headed in 1-1.
Shortly later, the visitors also took the lead when Kazper Karlsson managed to outwit Abrahamsson.
Häcken’s answer then came with about ten minutes left to play. Momodou Sonko sent the ball into the roof of the net when he was freed by Simon Gustafson.
But the reigning champions were not satisfied there, as Even Hovland headed in 3-2 in the 91st minute.
Häcken is now only two points up on league leaders Malmö FF.
Next up is a meeting with Bayer Leverkusen in the Europa League for Häcken.
