AIK and Häcken played to a 1-1 draw in an Allsvenskan match in Stockholm on Sunday, 26th October 2025. The goal for the home side was scored by Erik Hovden Flataker, who placed the ball past Häcken's goalkeeper Etrit Berisha.
The moment of Flataker's finish was captured by Bildbyrån photographer Simon Hastegård. Reuters Connect published the image with the source identifier MT1SIPA0005I3E8S. The fixture was part of Sweden's top football division, the Allsvenskan.
How did Häcken's defence perform?
Etrit Berisha was a key figure in Häcken's defensive effort during the match. His work in goal prevented AIK from securing a lead that could have yielded three points. Berisha, who has established himself as one of the league's more experienced goalkeepers, made several important saves beyond the conceded goal.
Häcken showed defensive discipline for large portions of the encounter. The team has during the 2026 season managed the absence of key players like Ben Engdahl and Filip Ohman, as seen on the current injuries list. The defensive organisation at Friends Arena was a factor behind the eventual sharing of the points.
What was Erik Hovden Flataker's role?
Erik Hovden Flataker's goal came from a well-coordinated attacking move by AIK. The striker demonstrated good finishing technique when he beat Berisha. This was a decisive moment that secured a point for his team.
