Eleven goals and a 90+9 winner
AIK 5–6 IF Brommapojkarna at Strawberry Arena. Eleven goals, all of them in the second half, after 0–0 at the break (2) (5) (7). Mads Hansen scored the winner in the ninth minute of stoppage time (2) (7).
Your team was 1–5 down and dragged it back to 5–5 inside 28 minutes before Hansen finished it (1) (7) (10). A defeat that will be replayed around the world for weeks.
BP had never beaten AIK before (fan post). That is now over as well.

Riveiro: it is entirely on me
José Riveiro did not hide. "The second half is hard to talk about from a tactical perspective. This is my responsibility, it is my fault. It is totally on me" (1) (13).
BP coach Ulf Kristiansson went after the referees instead: "Is this what football Sweden wants? We kill the emotions" (3). He also called the officials' attitude "beneath all criticism" (4).
Nordfeldt: totally unacceptable
Captain Kristoffer Nordfeldt did not soften it. "This is totally unacceptable" (1) (13).
Six goals at home to a Stockholm rival. That is the whole assessment.
Strand: AIK do not scare anyone
BP captain Simon Strand did not stop at the win. "If you look at AIK generally, I do not think they have a particularly good team" (5) (16).
Said after his side had just put six past you at home.
Ninth, winless in five, Göteborg up next
AIK sit ninth of 16 on 33 points from 23 games, goal difference minus four, and have not won in five: Malmö FF 0–0 AIK, AIK 1–4 Västerås SK, AIK 1–1 Mjällby AIF, Halmstads BK 2–1 AIK, and Saturday's 5–6 (6).
Next up is IFK Göteborg at home on Saturday, October 17, 17:30 CEST. After that, away at IK Sirius on Saturday, October 24.
Elsewhere in the round, GAIS 0–1 Sirius (7) (9).
Fan reactions
The mood in Solna is funeral-grade. One resident summed up the neighbourhood after Saturday: it was like a burial, and even neutrals admitted they would have been miserable as AIK fans watching little brother BP win 6–5 (2). The r/soccer thread had the trivia ready, that BP had never beaten AIK before and that Brommapojkarna is Lucas Bergvall's boyhood club while AIK is Alexander Isak's (1). For anyone stranded abroad, the only question left was which pub in Berlin would show the match (3).
