Four yellow cards were issued during the match, the three to Hammarby IF players halting their momentum.
Final Reflections
Despite the draw, Hammarby IF showed a strong defensive performance with goalkeeper O. Dovin making 5 saves. BK Häcken dominated in terms of ball possession (60% to 40%). Interestingly enough, Hammarby IF used all permissible substitutions. The anticipated win for Hammarby didn’t manifest, instead, both teams shared the spoils in a heated and highly competitive match.
