The home side also generated twice as many corners (9 to 3) and more total shots (20 to 12). But AIK's defense and goalkeeper stood firm. Gnaget's keeper was in top form, making six saves, while Malmö's keeper only needed to make three. AIK also blocked seven shots, helping to keep a clean sheet. "We were disciplined and took our chances when they came," a club spokesperson said after the match.

Both teams had a zero percent conversion rate on the day. In disciplinary terms, AIK received two yellow cards to Malmö's one, and committed more fouls (12 to 10).
