It was of course an important match in relation to our position. I know how football can be – for better or for worse. This is probably the best,” AIK head coach Henning Berg said after the game.Bilal Hussein frälser AIK med ett långskott i den 89:e matchminuten! 1-0 till AIK ⚫ Se matchen på https://t.co/ocJJkbIhfX pic.twitter.com/1t0OO4g7FJ— discovery+ sport 🇸🇪 (@dplus_sportSE) July 31, 2023 The result saw AIK jump above Sirius into twelfth position on the standings on 17 points with a better goal difference than their opponents.The win also continued AIK’s encouraging start under Berg.
