Superettan | Round 11 | Thursday, 11 June 2026 Olympia, Helsingborg, Sweden
Nobody scored in the first half. The game was tight. Helsingborg had the crowd. Home advantage. A stadium that has seen European nights not so long ago, even if those nights feel distant now from the Superettan’s second division reality.
Then the second half arrived and everything collapsed.
Three goals in 22 minutes. Alexander Johansson scored in the 22nd minute of the second half — that is the 67th minute of the match. Two minutes later Jon Birkfeldt made it two. Then Akimey, who had already been involved in Helsingborg’s better moments earlier in the game, turned villain and scored a third in the 44th — that is the 89th minute. Landscape went three up before a proper response arrived from the hosts.
Final score: Helsingborg 0-3 Landskrona. The Nordvästra Skånederbyt — the northwest Scanian derby — went to the visitors.
The first half was genuinely tight. Both sides probed without penetrating. Helsingborg in their 4-4-2 with Svensson and Johansson up front tried to use the crowd and find spaces down the flanks. Landskrona sat in their 4-5-1 and absorbed. The pre-match data had shown that 70% of Landskrona’s games end with both teams scoring — an open style that suggested neither side would keep clean sheets easily. The first half suggested otherwise. Zero-zero at the break. Boring, competitive, the kind of first half that gives nothing away.
Then Johansson. The goal came from a combination that cut through Helsingborg’s defence cleanly. He arrived in the right area at the right moment and finished. The home crowd went quiet. Not the Johansson they wanted scoring.
Birkfeldt made it two just 180 seconds later. Jon Birkfeldt — the Landskrona midfielder who had been relatively anonymous for 70 minutes — suddenly found the ball and the space and converted. Back-to-back goals in two minutes. The type of sequence that finishes games.
Helsingborg tried to respond. Gigovic, Akimey and Nordin pushed forward. Brattberg in goal for Helsingborg had nothing to do — the goals were all at the other end. The home side had corners, had attempts, but the finishing was absent and Landskrona’s goalkeeper Pettersson was barely tested.
Then Akimey. Deep in stoppage time — the 89th minute — a third goal. The same Adam Akimey who had been playing for Helsingborg and trying to force things going forward ended up on the wrong side of the scoreline. Three-nil. Helsingborg fans started leaving.
Four yellow cards followed in the final minutes. Alexander Johansson booked in the 72nd minute for Helsingborg — the irony of the name given it was a Johansson who opened the scoring at the other end. Wilhelm Loeper and Simon Bengtsson both booked at 86 minutes. Maill Lundgren in the 90th. Tempers fraying as the game died.
Full time: Helsingborg 0, Landskrona 3.
Helsingborg sit eighth in the Superettan with 14 points. This takes Landskrona level with them on points going into the weekend. It also extends Helsingborg’s recent miserable run at home — they lost 0-2 to Norrköping at Olympia not long ago. The home form was already a problem. Three goals in a local derby makes it worse.
The H2H record going into Thursday had Helsingborg with 7 wins, Landskrona with 8, and 5 draws from 20 meetings in all competitions. Landskrona now move to 9 wins. They have won more derbies than their neighbours from the start. Thursday reminded everyone of that fact.
