Kolbeinn Þórðarson was immovable
32 times he got in the way of something. Centre-halves get written about when they make mistakes and ignored when they do not, so an afternoon like this needs saying out loud: he is the reason the scoreline reads as it does.

There were 7 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

IFK Goteborg supporters have found a favourite in Saidou Alioum
There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 23-year-old it feels ownership of. Saidou Alioum has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.
