In the Svenska Cupen clash, IFK Norrköping exhibited superior tactical acumen, especially in the second half and overtime, to secure a 3-1 win against Trelleborgs FF. Despite conceding early in the first half, Norrköping dominated in terms of corner kicks with 9 compared to Trelleborgs' 5, showcasing their relentless pressure and ability to create set-piece opportunities. Their efficient conversion of these chances in the latter stages of the match was crucial, with two goals coming in overtime.

After drawing level early in the second half, IFK Norrköping's ability to exploit spaces and orchestrate plays was evident. This was exemplified by their disciplined and focused approach as they kept their fouls at 9, significantly lower than Trelleborgs' 12. The home team’s organization and teamwork allowed them to apply consistent pressure, forcing the away team into mistakes, which were compounded by Trelleborgs' accumulation of yellow cards, resulting in a critical red card during overtime.

Trelleborgs' performance was hindered significantly by their lack of discipline, particularly in the closing stages, receiving four yellow cards leading to a red card. This lack of composure restricted their ability to mount a comeback after falling behind early in overtime. In contrast, Norrköping's cohesive defensive structure, coupled with effective substitutions, helped in maintaining control and securing their spot with a comprehensive victory. The match outcome was decisively influenced by Norrköping's ability to capitalize on Trelleborgs’ defensive lapses and manage the game's pace through strategic play.
