Player ratings5 Apr 2027
Nobody could get near Erik Botheim
Successful dribbles: 40. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Lillestrom come back empty-handed
The bid was some way short and IFK Norrkoping did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Viktor Christiansson shuts the door
Defensive actions: 24, and a clean sheet at the end of it. A centre-half's best afternoons look like nothing happening, which is precisely the point.

As if he never left: Gustav Kulusevski returns
Some transfers need a press campaign. This one needed a shirt with the old number on it. Gustav Kulusevski is a IFK Norrkoping player again, and the town has its story of the summer.

Viktor Tankovic is a IFK Norrkoping player again
He left as a boy and has come back still knowing where the away end is. Most signings have to be explained to a town; this one needed a photograph and nothing else.

As if he never left: Daniel Jansson returns
Some transfers need a press campaign. This one needed a shirt with the old number on it. Daniel Jansson is a IFK Norrkoping player again, and the town has its story of the summer.

6 unbeaten for IFK Norrkoping
Hard to beat is not the same as winning, but 6 matches without defeat is a foundation IFK Norrkoping did not have in the autumn.

The manager makes an example of Christoffer Nyman
“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.
