Sweden round-up: Torvaldsson leaves it late

A late strike from Magnus Torvaldsson saw Landskrona BoIS edge out local rivals Helsingborgs IF in a five-goal thriller at a sold-out Olympia stadium in the Swedish Allsvenskan tonight.

Landskrona headers
All of Landskrona's goals came from headers with Alexander Farnerud giving them the lead after just 18 minutes following a pass from Anders Fribergs. However it looked to be the home side who were going to take the spoils when goals from Álvaro Dos Santos (59 minutes) and Hans Eklund (64) turned the game on its head.

Late winner
The scoreline stayed that way until seven minutes from time when Landskrona got back on level terms after Daniel Nannskog headed Magnus Thorvaldsson's cross into the net. The visitors then snatched the winner deep into injury time when Torvaldsson got his head to a Jesper Ljung pass.

So close for Dos Santos
The scoreline was tough on a Helsingborg side who had hit the post three times in the second half, twice through Dos Santos and once by Eklund, whose goal was his 124th in the Allsvenskan.

Late drama
There was also late drama as GIF Sundsvall hit back from 2-0 down against Halmstads BK to claim a 3-2 win, courtesy of two goals in the final minute.

Simpson opener
Pascal Simpson gave Halmstads the lead after eight minutes and the three points seemed sure to be heading back south when Mikael Nilsson put the visitors 2-0 up after 70 minutes.

Goals at the death
But Sundsvall refused to give up and they got a goal back seven minutes later through Jon Eriksson before Tommy Bergersen and Dennis Östlundh stunned Halmstad with two goals at the death.

Stunning win
Elsewhere, IFK Norrköping climbed away from the bottom two with a stunning 5-1 win over fellow strugglers Kalmar FF. Antti Sumiala led the way with a hat-trick while Kristian Bergström and Mattias Flodström also got on the scoresheet for Norkopping. Kalmar's solitary strike came from Daniel Mobaeck.
