Elfsborg fell on the goal line and missed the playoffs on goal difference. There were three goals worse than Fenerbahce who took the last place as the 24th team.
Tottenham were big favorites against Elfsborg. Therefore, it is not surprising that it was the English giant that began the most excited.
After just over half an hour, the home team was taking the lead – but Niklas Hult, placed behind Isak Petterson could steer away from the end.
Then it wasn’t long before the next chance. Then Pettersson stepped and stood for incredible rescue.
– I think we played well. They lie down low and make it tough for us throughout the match. In the end we get holes in them and can do the second and third. It was nice to be back on track and win again, says Tottenham’s talent Lucas Bergvall after the first match against Swedish resistance in the London club’s sweater.
Abdullai tested a bicycle park

But in the 70th minute, Dane Scarlett crashed goal. The 20-year-old was played by Dejan Kulusevski and was able to nod the ball behind Pettersson.
Then came the extension. Oyindamola Ajayi was replaced in the 81st minute. Three minutes later he had found nets.
In overtime, the famous nail came in the coffin through Mikey Moore.
3-0 was the final result, which also means that Elfsborg is now eliminated from the Europa League.
