Hammarby secured a 2–0 victory in the highly dramatic Allsvenskan series final held in Stockholm. The win was marred by controversy surrounding a penalty awarded by the main referee, Glenn Nyberg, in the first half. The penalty was taken by Victor Lind and gave Hammarby a crucial advantage. Sirius players expressed strong frustration after the defeat. Captain Henrik Castegren of the opposing side said that the penalty decision was the main cause of the loss. He added that referee Nyberg had later stated that awarding the penalty was a mistake, a statement that left Castegren “at a loss for words.”
