Botheim scores again as Malmö claims second straight win

Malmö secured their second consecutive victory with a narrow 1-0 win against Degerfors, thanks to a decisive goal from forward Erik Botheim. The Norwegian striker continues his impressive scoring form, netting the match's sole goal in the 52nd minute.

Botheim's goal came after a corner kick, where he won a duel in the penalty area to tap the ball in from close range. This strike marks his eighth goal of the current season, placing him third in the Allsvenskan league's top scorer standings. He concluded the spring season with a hat-trick against Halmstad, showcasing his consistent offensive threat.

The win brings Malmö's total to two straight victories since the arrival of new coach Gaute Helstrup. While Helstrup observed the match from the stands, his team showed promise, though they could have sealed the victory with more goals in the second half. Meanwhile, Degerfors is struggling, having gone seven consecutive matches without a win.
