Malmö FF defeated Degerfors 1–0 at Stora Valla in the Allsvenskan restart. Erik Botheim scored the decisive goal in the second half.
Gaute Helstrup began his time as MFF coach with a win. He sat in the press stand during the match but could celebrate when the final whistle sounded.
Erik Botheim, a fellow Norwegian to the new coach, slotted the ball home from close range after a corner shortly after halftime. It was his eighth goal of the season.
Degerfors now has seven straight matches without a win. The home side discussed a penalty situation they believed should have been awarded.
