Landskrona BoIS remain top of the Allsvenskan despite a 1-1 draw at home to Djurgårdens IF FF.
Andersson sent off
Landskrona took the lead after six minutes through Daniel Nannskrog but were pegged back when Kim Källström equalised. A disappointing night for the league leaders was completed in the final minute when Johan Andersson was sent off after kicking out at Djurgarden's veteran midfield player, Stefan Rehn.
Halmstad hit back
Örgryte IS are second on goal difference, after a 1-1 draw at Halmstads BK. The visitors took the lead ten minutes after half-time thanks to a Robert Barkroth header, but Halmstad hit back within five minutes to snatch a point through Petter Hansson's second goal of the season.
Hammarby comeback
AIK Solna and champions Hammarby IF FF fought out an entertaining 2-2 draw in front of a crowd of 31,948 at the Råsunda stadium. The hosts surged into a 2-0 lead thanks to an Andreas Andersson strike and an own goal from Johan Andersson. Hammarby pulled one back through Peter Markstedt and completed the comeback a minute from time when Andreas Hermansson hammered the ball home from 15 yards.
Miserable record
Örebro SK FK moved up to fourth following a 2-0 win against IF Elfsborg. The Kenyan duo of Boniventure Maruti and Paul Oyuga both got on the scoresheet in the final 15 minutes to continue Elfsborg's miserable record at the Eyravallen stadium where they have not picked up a point since 1975.
