A 3-1 victory over Kalmar FF kept Örgryte IS at the top of the Allsvenskan tonight.
Guara opener
The home side held out until midway through the second half but once they got the initial breakthrough the goals came at regular intervals. Paulinho Guara got the opener in the 65th minute before Daniel Lohm waded in with two in quick succession in the 75th and 80th minutes. Kalmar were handed a consolation when Haakan Lindqvist made no mistake from the spot on full-time.
Flying start
Malmö FF kept within two points of the league leaders thanks to their 3-2 win over rock-bottom IFK Norrköping. Peter Ijeh got the home side off to a flying start with the first goal after just two minutes. Mikael Strom equalised for Norrkoping on 26 minutes before Niklas Skoog put the hosts ahead in the 40th minute. Jonas Wallerstedt grabbed the equaliser three minutes into the second half but Malmö were not to be denied and three minutes later Andreas Yngvesson hit the winner.
