Harambee Stars midfielder Timothy Ouma was instrumental in helping IF Elfsborg gain a dramatic 5-3 win over Hacken in an Allsvenskan match that took place on Sunday afternoon.
Ouma, who has become an integral part of Elfsborg’s plans playing as a deep lying midfielder, controlled the pace of the game with his graceful passing, making three key passes and was a joy to watch with his defensive work, winning seven of his 11 attempted ground duels.
The match began with Elfsborg showing early promise as Camil Jebara surged down the left flank, initiating swift attacking transitions.
Despite several corner opportunities, they initially struggled to convert. Hacken seized momentum midway through the first half, taking a 1-0 lead after a rebounded shot found the back of the net, despite Isak Pettersson's initial save.
