Malte Persson broke your heart in the 90th minute
Halmstads BK 2–1 AIK. Away to the bottom team. A goal in the 90th minute (1)(2)(3). That is four straight games without a win, and it hurts more than most.
Malte Persson scored the winner. Mads Thychosen did not hide afterwards: "It is far too poor" (3). You go into the international break eighth in the table on 33 points from 22 games (5).
Riveiro apologised, Hove refused
José Riveiro said sorry to the supporters after the match (2). Johan Hove would not follow him. "We never apologise for losing a football match," he said (2).

The analysis: it looked like sabotage
One post-match analysis described it plainly: it looked as if someone had sabotaged it for them (5). The expensive signing has not delivered points, and AIK went into the break on the back of this (5).
Fotboll Sthlm's read is the other side of it. AIK have earned more than they have been given in September, with the late goal at Örjans vall the sharpest knife (11).
No winter training camp, and the players are not happy
AIK will not travel abroad for a pre-season camp this winter. The club is acting to get on top of the injuries (7)(10). Hove again: "Not a popular decision among the players, anyway" (7).
Amin Boudri is back after the knee injury
Amin Boudri returned against Degerfors after the knee injury he picked up in the derby against AIK. The 21-year-old is honest about it: "I just have not listened, I have been ignorant" (6).
The women won their derby
AIK beat Hammarby 2–1 in the Damallsvenskan derby in Solna (8). The move that decided it: centre-back Matilda Plan played as a forward. "They looked at each other and wondered what was going to happen," Plan said (8).
Around the league
Djurgården 1–2 Elfsborg at home. That result, and your loss in Halmstad, let leaders IK Sirius tighten their grip on the title (9).
