Match

Cup progress for Malmo FF

A 2‑0 win over Halmstad, a place in the next round, and the quiet arithmetic every supporter does on the walk home: how many more until a final?

Squad

Tempers go at Malmo FF

Pontus Jansson was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Player ratings

Mayckel Lahdo beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 16. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Player ratings

Nobody on the pitch touched Sead Hakšabanović

7.80, and no serious argument from anybody who was there. Malmo FF had eleven men on the pitch and one of them decided how it went.

Squad

Too much change too quickly at Malmo FF

12 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.

The dugout

The form table has caught Mayckel Lahdo

Somebody else has been better, the manager has said so with a team sheet, and there is no argument to be had. He will get the shirt back the only way it can be got back.

The dugout

Sead Hakšabanović gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Sead Hakšabanović is on it.

The dugout

Anton Olsen on the point

“A point is a point and I will take it, but we should have had all three.” Anton Olsen after the 0‑0 draw, and the sentence every manager in the country said at some stage this weekend.

The dugout

No hiding place for Noah Åstrand John

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Noah Åstrand John, and the manager let it.

In brief
