CONTEXT

The match between IFK Göteborg and Häcken is finished, ending with a full-time score of 0-1 to the visitors. Häcken took the lead in the first half and held on despite limited territorial control, as the sides went into the interval at 0-1. Pre-match projections had been closely balanced, listing IFK Göteborg at 34.3 percent, the draw at 29.5 percent and Häcken at 36.2 percent. The away victory therefore counts as a significant deviation in favor of Häcken, especially as IFK Göteborg entered as the stronger team. The outcome ultimately aligned with the pre-match projection while the efficiency shift stayed in line with expectations. IFK Göteborg dominated possession at 68 percent to 32 percent, yet no expected goals data is available to measure their chance quality. The decisive event was a home red card that created second-half distortion, limiting the hosts' ability to convert their territorial advantage and allowing the visitors to protect their narrow lead.
