Hammarby Clinches Convincing 3-0 Win Over Elfsborg to Close 2025 Season

Hammarby finished their 2025 Allsvenskan season on a confident note, overpowering Elfsborg with a 3-0 victory in the final match at 3 Arena in Stockholm. Despite neither team having league position stakes at this stage, Hammarby showcased a dominant performance led by striker Paulos Abraham, who scored twice within three minutes in the second half to seal the win.

The match was opened in the 17th minute by Frank Junior Adjei, whose skillful shot after hitting the crossbar found the net to give Hammarby a lead early on. The first half also saw a key moment when Elfsborg's goalkeeper Isak Pettersson collided with Abraham in the 44th minute, forcing Pettersson's exit due to injury. Felix Jakobsson replaced him and impressively kept a clean sheet in his debut for Hammarby.

After halftime, Abraham showed his class with a clever backheel to make it 2-0, followed shortly by a third goal capitalizing on a rebound in the 60th minute. Hammarby’s captain, Nahir Besara, who ended the season with 17 goals, narrowly missed out on the top scorer accolade, which was claimed by Ibrahim Diabate of Gais and August Priske of Djurgården.

The victory secured Hammarby 62 points by season’s end, placing them eighth in the league standings, while Elfsborg finished in eighth place. This result capped off a strong closing performance for Hammarby, underscoring their attacking prowess and resilience throughout the season.
