Elfsborg scored first, AIK equalised before half-time and the hosts took the lead in the 85th minute. That advantage lasted five minutes before Rasmus Wikström restored parity. A 2–2 result therefore represents a lead for each side and a late response to an apparent winner, rather than a score that stayed level throughout.
Each team earned a point from the meeting, but that does not leave them in identical season positions. Their separate points totals appear in the dated standings context below. Possession and attempts also remain distinct from the score; the draw alone cannot establish that the performances were equal.
