Hacken 1–4 Hammarby: Friendly Rout as Bajen Show Dominance
Hammarby produced a commanding display to defeat Hacken 4–1 in an international club friendly played on 25 June 2026 at Bravida Arena. Despite the pre‑season nature of the match, Hammarby’s sharpness in attack and defensive solidity were evident throughout.
Hacken started brightly and took a surprise lead in the 14th minute. Striker Alexander Jeremejeff latched onto a through ball and finished with a composed strike across the goalkeeper. However, the lead lasted only eight minutes. Hammarby equalised through winger Bazoumana Touré, who cut in from the right and curled a left‑footed shot into the top corner.
From that point on, Hammarby took control. In the 34th minute, midfielder Nahir Besara headed in from a corner to put the visitors ahead. The second half was one‑sided. Touré scored his second of the game in the 58th minute with a tap‑in after a defensive howler from Hacken. Substitute Victor Djukanovic added the fourth in the 76th minute with a powerful strike from the edge of the box.
Tactical observations
Hammarby’s high‑press unsettled Hacken’s build‑up play throughout. The midfield trio of Besara, Loret Sadiku and Tesfaldet Tekie controlled the centre of the pitch, allowing wing‑backs to push forward. Hacken’s early goal proved to be a false dawn as they struggled to cope with Hammarby’s intensity after the equaliser.
