Örgryte IS lost out on their chance to go top of the Swedish first division after being held to a 1-1 draw by Örebro SK FK.
Oyuga equaliser
It seemed that Örgryte would get the victory they wanted in a tight game when a Thomas Andersson own goal gave them the lead in the 78th minute. However, Paul Oyuga equalised just two minutes from full time to leave Örgryte in second place behind newly-promoted Landskrona BoIS on goal difference, having played a game more. Örebro stay sixth.
Eriksson beats Kalmar
In the night's other match, IFK Göteborg moved into third place with a 1-0 win at struggling Kalmar FF. Peter Eriksson scored the winner in the 27th minute.
