Match Analysis
AI SummaryHow it unfolded
Haninge struck first against the run of play in the 23rd minute, catching Arlanda napping to take a 1-0 lead. But the response was almost instant — Arlanda equalised just two minutes later through Isac Antholm (25'), then took the lead before the half-hour mark when Leonard Kleist made it 2-1 in the 31st minute.
The second half was a one-sided affair. Samuel Rydz extended the lead to 3-1 in the 55th minute, and Muktar Ahmed added a fourth in the 63rd. Joel Carlsson made it 5-1 in the 72nd minute, before a trialist completed the scoring in the 76th, capping a 6-1 rout.
The turning point
Haninge's opening goal in the 23rd minute briefly threatened an upset, but Arlanda's immediate response — Antholm's equaliser just 120 seconds later — reset the momentum. From that point, Arlanda scored five more without reply, overwhelming Haninge with sustained pressure after the interval.

By the numbers — interpreted
The provider data shows goals in the 23rd, 25th, 31st, 55th, 63rd, 72nd and 76th minutes — a pattern that tells the story. Haninge's single goal in the 23rd minute was their only shot in the net across 90 minutes, while Arlanda scored six from open play, five of them in the second half. The 2-1 half-time scoreline flattered Haninge; Arlanda's second-half intensity produced four goals in 21 minutes (55'–76'), converting a competitive contest into a one-sided rout.
What it means
This was a pre-season friendly (träningsmatch) for both Swedish lower-league sides as they prepare for the resumption of the 2026 season. Arlanda — who play in Division 1 Norra (third tier) — used the match as a final rehearsal before the league restart. The win extends Arlanda's strong run of form, having won 10 of their 15 fixtures in 2026 across all competitions (67% win rate, per tips.gg). Haninge, who play at a similar level, will take positives from a bright opening 23 minutes but will need to address defensive frailties exposed in the second half.
Arlanda's next fixture is the league return in Division 1 Norra, while Haninge continue their pre-season preparations.
Verdict
A routine pre-season workout for Arlanda, who recovered from a momentary lapse to blow Haninge away with five second-half goals. The quick response to going behind was the most encouraging sign for the hosts. Haninge, to their credit, started brightly but faded badly after the equaliser — a defensive collapse that will concern their coaching staff.
