Ekong's Hajduk move collapses after failed medical
Emmanuel Ekong is staying. His transfer to Hajduk Split fell through after he failed his medical, and he returns to Malmö FF (1) (4) (5). The winger was omitted from the squad against Kalmar ahead of the expected move. Now he is back, though his future remains unclear.
2–2 at Kalmar, John scores on debut
Malmö FF drew 2–2 away at Kalmar FF on Monday, fighting back twice to earn a point (2) (5). Noah John scored his first goal for the club and did not hide his emotions: "Jag är en emotionell person," he said after the match (2). Sead Hakšabanović was involved in both goals (3).
Hakšabanović in form, Thern impressed
Simon Thern singled out Hakšabanović after the Kalmar draw. The winger now has 3 goals and 6 assists in 13 league matches this season (3). His involvement in both goals at Kalmar underlined how central he has become.
Resilience that was missing in the spring
A voice from the camp put it bluntly after the Kalmar result: "I våras hade vi förlorat den här matchen" (6). The quote captures a shift, your team dropped points but did not collapse. Earlier this season, a match like that slips away.
Peña lands at OFK Belgrad
Former Malmö FF midfielder Sergio Peña has signed for OFK Belgrad (7). His journey since leaving MFF took him through Alianza Lima and Sakaryaspor, where he experienced a suspension and a relegation. Now he starts fresh in Serbia.
