Hacken clawed back some of the deficit on Allsvenska leader Elfsborg, winning 4-2 in an entertaining top-of-the-table contest.

The visitor took a seventh-minute lead through David Elm, which was cancelled out by Bjorn Anklev after 58 minutes.

Elfsborg was back in front two minutes later with a strike from Marcus Rohden, but a Mohammed Khan double (71 and 76) took Hacken in front for the first time.

Hopes of an Elfsborg comeback were then extinguished with the 83rd-minute dismissal of Jon Jonsson, and Hacken piled on the agony in the dying seconds with a fourth goal from Abdul Waris.

The win sees Hacken move five points behind Elfsborg, while third-placed AIK has the same distance to make up after beating GAIS 1-0. Kwame Karikari scored the only goal of the game after 82 minutes.

In the day's other match, two goals from Abiola Dauda saw Kalmar on its way to a 3-0 win over IFK Gothenburg. Jonathan McDonald was also on target for the home side.
