Stalemate on Hisingen, injuries pile up
AIK left Gothenburg with a point and two more names on the injury list. Häcken 0–0 AIK, a second straight clean sheet after the summer break for your team (2). Axel Kouame and Taha Ayari both came off with muscle complaints, adding to the seven players already unavailable. José Riveiro reshaped things at half-time and got a better second 45, but the attack could not find a way through.
Häcken's coach loved his own performance
Jens Gustafsson did not hide his satisfaction after the goalless draw. "It was absolutely brilliant," the Häcken coach said (2). AIK have now won once in seven visits to Hisingen.
Sultygov signed his first senior deal
Muslim Adamovich Sultygov put pen to paper on his first AIK senior contract in early July (1). The 18-year-old did not even know he had trialled with the club as a ten-year-old. "It has been a long journey," he said (1). He is now chasing his Allsvenskan debut.
Fan reactions
The mood on r/Allsvenskan is already looking past the Häcken stalemate. Fans are circulating a report that AIK have signed forward Linus Carlstrand, with discussion focused on what he brings to an attack that just fired blank. Read the thread.
