- • The match against Häcken ended in a 0-0 draw, with missed opportunities for both teams.

Degerfors IF remains trapped in a goal-scoring slump, failing to find the net for the fifth consecutive match under new coach Henok Goitom. Their latest encounter against BK Häcken concluded in a frustrating 0-0 stalemate, which further complicates their efforts in the 2025 Allsvenskan season.
Despite both teams having opportunities, neither could convert their chances into goals. Notably, Degerfors' Marcus Rafferty squandered an open opportunity, missing the target entirely, which provoked criticism from football expert Adelisa Grabus who labeled the miss as 'incredibly poor.' On the other side, Häcken was awarded a penalty late in the match, but Sebastian Leach Holm's shot failed to find the back of the net, a miss he described as a 'bad penalty.'
This result leaves Degerfors in a precarious relegation playoff position with only 15 points accumulated so far this season. Additionally, they faced an injury setback with new striker Richie Omorowa forced to leave the pitch early in the second half, further exacerbating their scoring difficulties as the team looks to regain momentum amid ongoing struggles.
