Carlstrands success – AIK turn the tables on Örgryte

AIK have a tough injury situation in the squad and before the match 13 players were missing. Coach José Riveiro praises the young players who took the chance. – We played with eight players from our academy today, in a very tough match. So this match was for our academy, for our coaches there. Today these players played a very important role in the match. So congratulations to the club, he says.

Last weekend AIK lost 0–3 at home against Örgryte. In Gothenburg the black and yellow got their revenge by winning 4–3. New signing Linus Carlstrand made his first start for AIK and earned the trust by scoring two goals. He completed the turnaround by scoring 3–2 in the 85th minute. ## Turnaround Carlstrand equalized to 1–1 after half an hour of play. It was his first goal in the AIK jersey in his second match for the club. But a long way into the second half it looked like it would be a loss for AIK since Öis took the lead again in the first half. Then another striker stepped forward. 19-year-old Sixten Gustafsson equalized to 2–2 in the 74th minute (with his first Allsvenskan goal). – It's indescribable, it's something I've dreamed of since I was little, says Gustafsson in TV4. Five minutes later the home team's Daniel Paulson got a red card after a dangerous tackle and after that the match turned. ## Break before the derby Carlstrand scored the 3–2 goal with a few minutes left. Yannick Geiger, 19, then scored 4–2 (also his first Allsvenskan goal) before Öis reduced the lead late. AIK have a tough injury situation in the squad and before the match 13 players were missing.

In the first half Amel Mujanic was warned and he will therefore miss the derby against Djurgården next weekend. For Örgryte's part, BP awaits on the road.
