Matthys debut and three straight wins
AIK beat Gais 2–0 at Strawberry Arena on Saturday, and it puts your team into a European spot (3). Third straight win in the league. Hervé Matthys made his debut at center-back and the fans welcomed him properly, Norra stå had a chant ready after just over 20 minutes (5). "I couldn't have hoped for a better start," Matthys said (1).
Filling and Ayari got it done
Kevin Filling was behind everything in attack (8). Taha Ayari also scored and has stepped up to carry AIK's offense right now (11). The two goals sealed a match your team controlled.
Eskil Edh out injured
Eskil Edh missed the Gais match through injury, another blow to the backline (10) (12). That forced a reshuffle, but Matthys stepped in and the defense held a clean sheet.
Csongvai on his way, Matthys the replacement
The club knew Áron Csongvai was heading for the exit and moved early. "We wanted to be as proactive as possible," said recruitment head Miika Takkula about securing Matthys before the Csongvai deal to Saint-Étienne was done (4). The Belgian signed on a free, contract through 2028 (7).
Nordfeldt: no hiding behind processes
Kristoffer Nordfeldt is back after the World Cup and pulled no punches after two straight wins: "At AIK you can't hide behind processes. In the end it's points and results that count" (9).
