Magashy was the match’s main figure, doubling the lead in the 55th minute. Shortly after, in the 84th, Rony Jansson seized the chance and secured the third goal with a clinical finish. In the first half, Carl Gustafsson opened the scoring in the fourth minute, a pass from Arsenal loanee Charles Sagoe Jr. delivering a distinct strike. Although Anthony Olusanya hit the post in the 25th minute, Kalmar kept a clean sheet at the break.

What does the coach say about the result?

Toni Koskela, commenting on TV4, expressed satisfaction but stressed the team must keep pressing from the start. "First half was great, but we can’t allow goals in the second half," he said. Örgryte coach Andreas Holmberg highlighted his own side’s shortcomings, noting they need to improve chances to avoid conceding late goals.

What’s next for Kalmar FF?

After such a strong home win, Kalmar looks ahead to the next away fixture against Hammarby FF on July 12, 2026.
