Ijeh the hero
Jorgen Ohlsson gave the visitors a 14th-minute lead with a header only for Jimmy Tamandi to equalise three minutes before the break after a fine through ball from Andreas Andersson. Nigerian Peter Ijeh scored the winner, and his eighth goal of the season, 22 minutes from the end to give the travelling team all three points.
One enough for Örebro
Elsewhere tonight, Patrik Anttonen's 54th-minute goal gave Örebro SK FK a 1-0 victory against IFK Norköpping. Anttonen swept the ball home from close range following good work from Paul Oyuga to move Orebro up to fifth.
Header proves decisive
In tonight's other game, Helsingborgs IF won 1-0 at IF Elfsborg with Brazilian Alvaro Santos scoring the only goal of the game in the 20th minute, heading home Hans Eklund's corner.
