Third straight win, up to a European spot
Your team beat GAIS 2–0 at home on Saturday and suddenly everything looks different. Taha Ayari and Kevin Filling got the goals (1). Three wins in a row after the break, and AIK now sit in a European place (2).
José Riveiro saw exactly what he asked for. "Det visar på hur starkt laget är mentalt. Jag är glad över att se laget spela som de spelade," he said before the match about the recent run (8). The team delivered again.
Edh out, Bergquist starts, Matthys available
Eskil Edh missed the GAIS match through injury. Lukas Bergquist got the start in his place (6) (7). New signing Hervé Matthys was in the squad and ready for his debut, the Belgian centre-back arrived on a free transfer through 2028 (4).
Matthys signed before Csongvai left
Recruitment chief Miika Takkula did not wait. "Vi ville vara så proaktiva som möjligt," he said about landing Matthys before Áron Csongvai's move to Saint-Étienne was finalised (4) (5). The fee for Csongvai sits around €1 million (5). Trialist Emmanuel Olawore is also in the building (5).
Nordfeldt back with results-first message
Kristoffer Nordfeldt is back from the World Cup and wasted no time summing up life at AIK. "I AIK går det inte att gömma sig bakom processer. I slutändan är det poäng och resultat som räknas," he said (3).
