BK Häcken beat Halmstads BK 1-0 in the Allsvenskan. Julius Lindberg's goal shortly before half-time was enough to settle a match Häcken controlled from start to finish.
Lindberg put Häcken ahead in the 36th minute, finishing after Abdoulaye Doumbia's assist. The game was a scrappy affair with five yellow cards, but no further goals followed.
Häcken dominated the statistics, with 24 shots to Halmstad's 11, 63% possession and 11 corners to one. Halmstad's goalkeeper made six saves, but Häcken could not add to their lead despite their superiority.
