Landskrona BoIS made a stunning start to the Swedish season with a 6-2 defeat of Helsingborgs IF.
Helsingborg stunned
Helsingborg were stunned by the Allsvenskan newcomers who raced into a two-goal lead within 25 minutes. Danijel Milovanovic volleyed his first of the day from close range after 19 minutes and a strike from Hekan Soderstierna five minutes later made it 2-0.
Two-goal lead
The visitors answered back almost immediately when striker Alvaro Santos crashed in a free-kick from 20 metres in the 26th minute and strike partner Rade Prica levelled the scores from close range two minutes later following a mistake by home defender Per-Ola Ljung.
Landskrona push on
Landskrona rallied in emphatic fashion as Alexander Farnerud scored his first goal in the top division from a corner seven minutes before the break. Within a minute Milovanovic struck his second following another defensive mistake, giving his side a 4-2 lead at the break.
Milovanovic hat-trick
Helsingborg goalkeeper Fredrik Larsson was caught napping when he tried to dribble the ball out of danger in the 57th minute, Daniel Nannskog dispossessing him before slotting the ball home. The stage was set for Milovanovic to complete his hat-trick in the 84th minute in front of a bumper crowd of 11,613.
