Mjällby AIF suffered a 3-0 home defeat to GAIS at Strandvallen in Sunday's Allsvenskan relegation battle. The heavy loss solidifies the reigning champions' position in the lower reaches of the table, now sitting 12th with 22 points from 22 games.
GAIS took the lead as early as the 13th minute through Joackim Fagerjord. In the second half, Nikola Vasic scored twice, his first in the 54th minute from a Dennis Collander assist and his second just five minutes later. It was his first goals for the club since joining from Hammarby this summer. "So fucking good," Vasic said afterwards.
Mjällby struggled to create dangerous chances and found it hard to win back possession. A 90th-minute opportunity was blocked on the line by GAIS defender Filip Beckman. GAIS dominated the second half and were able to rotate players like Collander, Andersson and Fagerjord off in the 69th minute.
For Mjällby, this marks a third defeat in their last five matches, with a recent form of LDDLL. The team now has a break before their next home fixture against 14th-placed Degerfors IF on October 10th, a key match to break the negative trend.
