A Long-Range Stunner Opens the Scoring
Nobody at Eleda Stadion saw this coming, least of all from where it started. Dijan Vukojevic opened the scoring from inside his own half — one of those shots that gets replayed for weeks. Degerfors, five straight losses coming in, no league win since 23 April, suddenly ahead against a Malmö side that had the ball for most of the afternoon.
Malmö clawed back into it. Substitute Diego García came on and leveled it, 1-1, and for a while it looked like the home side had done enough — plenty of possession, just not quite the finishing to turn it into a lead.
Vukojevic Strikes Again to Win It
Degerfors weren’t done, though. 70th minute, Arman Taranis drives down the left, squares a low ball across the box, and Vukojevic is there at the far post. No long-range magic this time. Just a simple finish, second of the day, and Degerfors back in front. From there they dug in, weathered whatever Malmö threw at them, saw it through.
What It Means Next
First win in ten Allsvenskan matches for Degerfors, and their first away win at Malmö since 1993 — genuinely massive for a team that walked in staring at the relegation zone. Three points push them up to 13 from 16 games, out of the drop spot, ahead of Örgryte on goal difference. After five straight losses, exactly the response they needed. Malmö boss Gaute Helstrup didn’t try to spin it afterward either — called it a step backward for a side that had all the ball and nothing to show for it.
