Helsingborg lost to Norrköping 0-2 at Olympia. The match started well for Helsingborg, who found spaces behind Norrköping's wing players. But Norrköping grew into the game and took over more centrally. Tim Prica scored 0-1 after a corner in the 57th minute, and Fabian Holst-Larsen made it 0-2 in the 73rd after a strong preparation by Axel Brönner. Helsingborg's attempt to equalize was not enough. Stevie Grieves' team had found a clear weakness in Norrköping's defense, but failed to punish it enough. Norrköping took over when they got to own the center and could move the team up step by step. Ryan Nelson and Elias Jemal gave width to the right and left, and Tim Prica was able to move freely around Christoffer Nyman. Prica and Nyman became important for creating uncertainty in HIF's defense. Helsingborg's problem was that they didn't get a payoff when the space was there. It was often almost, but not quite. Norrköping solved the problem with the natural grass better than Helsingborg. The surface was an important detail in the match, and Norrköping is a team that often feels better when the game is played quickly on artificial turf. But at Olympia, it wasn't the same pace in the passing game from the start. Helsingborg's loss was a deserved win for Norrköping, who played well and created the more dangerous chances.
