Final Thought

A fierce Stockholm derby that delivered in tension, but the data shows AIK were the sharper side — particularly after the red card. Djurgården showed early promise but couldn’t withstand the second-half pressure. Expect plenty of debate about the penalty and refereeing, but on the numbers, 1–1 might’ve been generous to the hosts.
