GAIS secured a convincing and important 4-0 victory over Brommapojkarna at Gamla Ullevi. The win, as reported by Aftonbladet Sportbladet, ended a several-week period without a win for the club.
Rasmus Niklasson Petrovic opened the scoring in the 22nd minute following an assist from Dennis Collander. Shortly after, Frosti Thorkelsson doubled the lead with a sharp turn and volley into the far post. "The first half is definitely up there with the best halves we've played this year," Thorkelsson said after the match.
How did the match develop in the second half?
After the break, GAIS continued to control the game. Samuel Salter made it 3-0 with a powerful header. The final touch was applied by Max Andersson, who finished with a fierce shot into the top corner.

What did the players say after the big win?
Captain August Wängberg described the win as a step in the right direction after a slump in results. Brommapojkarna's Wilmer Odefalk offered a different perspective on the first half. "They have the ball almost the whole time and we just have to adjust," he stated. BP captain Simon Strand admitted his team was not properly switched on from the start.
