Hammarby set the tone quickly and never let Kalmar settle. Abraham's early finish gave the hosts a 1-0 lead that they carried into the break, and that first-half edge shaped the result from there. Kalmar tried to change the flow at half-time, bringing on Sivert Engh Overby for Victor Larsson and Nassef Chourak for Abdussalam Magashy.
The visitors' hopes took another hit just under six minutes into the second half. Keita's own goal stretched the margin to 2-0 and left Kalmar chasing the game. Hammarby then managed the contest with changes of their own, introducing Oscar Johansson and Frank Adjei Junior just after the hour before Oliver Jordan Hagen and Kabore followed later on.
Kalmar also turned to the bench, with Emeka Nnamani, Marius Soderback and Zakarias Ravik all sent on, but the score stayed unchanged. The closing moments brought bookings for Kabore and Eriksson, yet little threat to the home lead. The score, result and key stats all reflected a composed afternoon for Hammarby, who remain second in the table while Kalmar sit 11th.
Our exact score call landed: 2-0. The pre-match prediction matched the final score at 2-0.
