Helstrup: not good enough for Europe
Your manager did not sugarcoat it after Malmö FF 1–2 Degerfors on Sunday. "We are not good enough to go out and compete in Europe right now," Helstrup said after the fifth home defeat in eight Allsvenskan matches (3). That is as blunt as it gets. A team with Champions League qualifiers on the horizon just lost to Degerfors at Eleda Stadion.
Haksabanovic calls out the young players
Sead Haksabanovic, 27, did not hold back. After the Degerfors loss he pointed the finger at the squad's younger players. "You have to be able to take responsibility even if you are young," he said (1). No names, but the message was sharp, and public.
Vukojević scored from 65 metres
Dijan Vukojević gave your team a moment to forget. The Degerfors forward scored from his own half, lobbing Robin Olsen from roughly 65 metres out (2) (5). He then struck the winner in the 70th minute (3). Diego Garcia had equalised for Malmö, but it was not enough (3). Fifth home defeat of the season.
GAIS away on Sunday
Your team heads to Gothenburg next. GAIS away, Sunday at 16:30. Malmö sit 8th with 23 points from 16 matches. The table does not lie.
