Hammarby 1–2 AIK | Sweden Allsvenskan | 24 May 2026

A dramatic Stockholm derby at Tele2 Arena saw AIK come from behind to defeat Hammarby 2–1, claiming bragging rights in the Swedish capital. The match, played on 24 May 2026, delivered high intensity, controversial decisions, and late drama that will be remembered by fans for seasons to come.

First Half: Hammarby Dominate

Hammarby started with fierce energy, pressing high and creating early chances. Their breakthrough came in the 28th minute when forward Nahir Bara levelled after a sweeping team move, finishing a low cross from wing‑back Mads Fenger. The home crowd roared, and Hammarby looked set to control the match.

AIK’s Response and Second Half Turnaround

AIK, however, grew into the contest. Manager Henning Berg adjusted the formation, pushing full‑backs higher to pin Hammarby back. The equaliser arrived in the 63rd minute. A corner from Sebastian Larsson found the head of defender Alexander Milosevic, who powered the ball into the net despite the close attention of two markers.

As the game entered the final quarter, both teams tired, but AIK seized the moment. In the 82nd minute, a swift counter‑attack saw striker John Guidetti slip a perfectly weighted pass to winger Bilal Hussein, who cut inside and fired a low shot past the Hammarby goalkeeper. The goal sparked wild celebrations among the away fans.

Controversy and Discipline

The match was not without its flashpoints. Hammarby’s midfielder Jeppe Andersen was sent off in the 78th minute for a second yellow card, a decision that incensed the home bench. Despite the numerical disadvantage, Hammarby pushed for an equaliser but could not break through AIK’s stubborn defense.
