Finally, a win
Sirius 1–2 AIK at Studenternas IP on Saturday. Six matches without a win, gone. Johan Hove did not hide how much it meant: "Väldigt skönt, speciellt med tanke på den senaste perioden. Vi har sex matcher utan seger och detta var ett bra sätt att studsa tillbaka på" (4).
There was a talking point before kick-off too: would AIK actually go for it against a side chasing the title? Hove answered it. "Vi kommer inte lägga oss mot något lag" (4).
You are 8th on 37 points with 25 played. Goal difference is -3.

Sirius are still arguing about the penalty
Victor Svensson thinks he should have had a spot kick. "Jag blir träffad," he said, and Andreas Engelmark was not happy with the decisions either (7).
Columnist Tobias Wessman did not buy the referee line. He pointed at Sirius's lack of a central attacking threat and their gold-fever nerves as the bigger problem after the 1–2 (6).
Lukic is coming in from Vasalund
AIK have agreed a deal for Filip Lukic, the young central midfielder from Vasalund. The contract starts at the turn of the year (1) (8). Vasalund brought him into the senior squad in 2024 (8).
Ellingsen is back after 965 days
Martin Ellingsen played football again. 965 days later, and he finally got his Allsvenskan debut. "Det har varit tufft," he told SVT Sport (2).

Asdis Halldorsdottir scored twice and AIK Dam kept their small hope of European football alive. They are heading for their best Damallsvenskan finish in 18 years (3).
Your win helped the title race, and Hammarby took it
Beating Sirius handed a favour to the SM-guld chasers. Only Hammarby cashed it in, winning 2–0 away at Mjällby through a Montader Madjed screamer. "Det var riktigt skönt," the 21-year-old said (9).
