It was a dramatic event at Studenternas IP in Uppsala when Malmö FF visited Sirius.

After a swinging match, the away team finally stood as winners, 4–3.

I don't want to be here right now, says Sirius' disappointed coach Christer Mattiasson after the match.

Table leaders Malmö bounced back after the loss against Mjällby with a 4–3 win away against Sirius.

We would have lost, we know how it would have sounded, then it would have been a mini-crisis. Now we bounce back and can go into the Champions League qualifying with strength. It's much more fun to win, but I know I have a group that would have handled an unfortunate loss as well, says Malmö's coach Henrik Rydström to Max after the match.

It was Sirius who took the lead, and the match went to halftime with 2–0 to the home team. One of the goals came after MFF goalkeeper Ricardo Friedrich kicked out the ball to Busanello, who couldn't receive it at chest height.

Adam Vikman caught the ball and scored 2–0 just before halftime.

Turned and won

Malmö came out tagged in the second half and could equalize after goals by Sebastian Nanasi and Hugo Bolin.

Sirius regained the lead in the 78th minute when Joakim Persson, lying down, tapped in his own rebound into the goal.

But Malmö came back again. They equalized through top scorer Isaac Kiese Thelin.

The winning goal was scored by young Nils Zätterström, who made his first start in Allsvenskan. The 19-year-old struck from outside the penalty area and got a rocket shot that was unstoppable for Jakob Tånnander in the Sirius goal.

I didn't have time to think anything. "Sebbe" (Nanasi) told me to follow up, so the ball bounced up to me and then I shot, says Zätterström about the goal.

"Should bloody win"

Christer Mattiasson was not satisfied after the loss.

We score three goals, and if you score three goals, you should bloody win a football match. We defend so poorly in the penalty area when we have a five-man backline, so we have to blame ourselves, says the coach.

Malmö remains at the top of the table, Sirius holds ninth place.
