This commanding win further solidified Helsingborg's dominance in their rivalry, extending their head-to-head record to nine wins.

Gefle began the match with an early opportunity from Samouil Izountouemoi, but Helsingborg goalkeeper Kalle Joelsson made a crucial save to deny them.

In the 7th minute, Helsingborg seized their chance, with Adrian Svanbäck capitalizing on a cleared free kick to slot home the opener.

Gefle looked to equalize in the 27th minute but squandered a vital opportunity.

Shortly after, Acquah showcased his talent by doubling Helsingborg's lead with a spectacular long-distance lob over the out-of-position goalkeeper, marking a highlight in the match.

The second half saw Helsingborg swiftly extend their advantage.

Svanbäck scored his second goal of the night with a powerful header, and shortly after, he assisted Taylor Silverholt, who netted the fourth goal, sealing a comprehensive victory.

Helsingborg's dominance was evident throughout the match, and despite late pressure from Gefle, Joelsson maintained a clean sheet with solid goalkeeping.

Acquah’s remarkable performance and goal were pivotal in securing all three points for his team.

Looking ahead, Helsingborg will prepare to face Utsiktens BK on October 5th as they aim to continue their strong run in the league.
