AIK's rising stars Taha Ayari and Kevin Filling proved decisive once again, securing a 2-0 win against Gais in the Allsvenskan football league. The victory, achieved at the National Arena, extends AIK's winning streak to three matches and lifts them to third place in the league table.

Ayari, 21, broke the deadlock in the 49th minute, calmly slotting the ball past Gais goalkeeper Mergim Krasniqi. Ten minutes later, 17-year-old Filling sealed the win with a simple tap-in into an open net. This performance follows a pattern of young talent delivering for AIK, as seen in their previous 2-1 victory over Mjällby where goals came from Adrian Helm, 20, and Victor Andersson, 21.

We push each other every day. We are very skilled players, young and really not done yet.
