IFK Norrkoping won against Helsingborg and reclaimed the Superettan league lead with Elias Jemal as the key player. He was fouled on the edge of the box and swept in a cross to Christoffer Nyman in the penalty area, but Helsingborg's Obafemi Awodesu scored an own goal.

  • I tried to pass to ”Totte” (Nyman) and they scored the ball into their own goal, said Jemal to TV4 Play in the break.
  • So they have to blame themselves, he continued.

With the win, Norrkoping reclaimed the Superettan league lead from Varberg, who won earlier on Saturday and topped the table for a few hours.

Norrkoping is first in the table with 32 points after 16 matches. They have a one-point lead over Falkenbergs FF.

Their next match is away to Sandviken on August 16.
