The match between IFK Norrkoping and Hammarby IF on 10 August 2025 was a tactical showcase that ended with a 0-2 victory for the away team. Despite a higher number of corner kicks from both teams—9 for the home side and 10 for the visitors—Hammarby IF were more effective in converting their possession into goals. The decisive goals were scored early in the second half, underscoring Hammarby’s strategic use of set-pieces and swift ball movement.

One of the major factors that influenced the outcome was the discipline and teamwork displayed by Hammarby IF, evidenced by their relatively low foul count of 7 compared to Norrkoping’s 8, and only one yellow card against the home side's five. IFK Norrkoping struggled with discipline, accumulating five yellow cards which likely disrupted their defensive organization and rhythm. This lack of discipline possibly contributed to defensive vulnerabilities that Hammarby capitalized on.

In terms of teamwork, Hammarby excelled in their defensive coordination by maintaining a clean sheet with an offside trap that caught Norrkoping players offside multiple times, compared to Hammarby’s own 2 offsides. This strategic use of offside, combined with a more efficient transition from defense to attack, enabled Hammarby to dominate when it mattered most. Norrkoping’s higher number of corner kicks did not translate into effective goal-scoring opportunities, signifying a lack of execution on set-pieces, an area that could be improved in future matches.
