It got from bad to worse for the visitors two minutes later as Eriksson’s long-range effort took an awkward bounce in front of Sveijer beating him for Djurgadens’ third of the match. It was almost 4-0 by the half-hour mark but Edward Chilufya somehow missed from very close range with the goalkeeper already on the floor.

He made up for the mistake minutes later as he got on the end of a beautiful Elliot Käck cross to make it 4-0 before the break.

In the second half Coach, Kim Bergstrand decided to introduce Midfielder Emmanuel Banda in place of Finnish midfielder Rasmus Schüller. Sirius pulled one back in the 72nd minute through Christian Kouakou but Banda restored Djurgadens four-goal  cushion three minutes later as he headed in Eriksson’s beauty of a cross, 5-1 the match ended.
