Haksabanovic fires at young players after fifth home loss

Fifth home loss, and a goal you will see everywhere

Malmö FF 1–2 Degerfors at Eleda Stadion on Sunday, and Dijan Vukojević scored one that will be replayed for years. He spotted Robin Olsen off his line and hit it from inside his own half. The ball sailed over Olsen and in. Vukojević then set up the winner in the 70th minute (2) (3). Diego Garcia got your goal, assisted by Sead Haksabanovic, but it was nowhere near enough (2).

That is five home defeats this season. Coach Helstrup did not dress it up: "Not good enough for Europe right now" (2).

Haksabanovic calls out the young players

Sead Haksabanovic did not hold back after the match. The 27-year-old went straight at the squad's younger players (1). "You have to be able to take responsibility even if you are young," he said. His full line cut deeper: "You can't just put your shoes out there" (1).

A leading voice in the dressing room drawing a line after a fifth home loss, with the team sitting 8th after 16 rounds.

GAIS away next Sunday

No time to dwell. Malmö FF travel to GAIS on Sunday, August 16, kickoff at 16:30 CEST. A response is needed, and fast.
