Two goals from Peter Ijeh sent IFK Malmö to the top of the Swedish Allsvenskan tonight.
Double trouble
Ijeh scored in the 84th minute to secure a 2-1 win for Malmö at home against third-placed Landskrona BoIS, moving them two points clear of Örgryte IS, who have a game in hand. Ijeh had opened the scoring on the stroke of half-time before Alexander Farnerud levelled in the 65th minute.
Late winner
IFK Norrköping, stuck at the bottom of the table with Halmstads BK, came within seconds of taking a valuable point from visiting Djurgården IF FF. But the Stockholm club, still in the chasing pack near the top of the table, recorded all three points when teenager Kim Kallstrom converted a penalty in the last minute for a 1-0 win.
Match marred
Meanwhile, AIK Solna were comfortable victors over IFK Göteborg 3-0, with two goals from Daniel Hoch and one from Stefan Ishizaka. The match was marred by a fight before the game which left one supporter critically injured.
