Mjällby AIF defeated Hammarby 2-1 in the Swedish Cup final at Strawberry Arena in Solna. The win gave the club its first-ever cup title in front of a record crowd.

Elliot Stroud scored the opener in the 19th minute after a long ball from Tony Miettinen. Paulos Abraham equalized for Hammarby shortly after. Jacob Bergström made it 2-1 just before halftime.

Hammarby demanded a penalty in the final minutes after Abraham fell in the box, but the referee waved play on. Mjällby's Viktor Gustafson received a red card late on.

Sweden national team coach Graham Potter watched from the stands. Stroud had been selected for the World Cup squad earlier in the week. Bergström said afterward: ”We will enjoy having him as long as he is here.”
