The Cup final opposed good, but out of the big picture teams: Djurgardens IF vs BK Hacken. One just out of the title race member of the top league against a strong Second Division squad trying to get back to First Division. The intrigue ended on the pitch as expected: the top league team was much stronger. Djurgardens IF won 3-0.
BK Hacken were so unfortunate this season – reached the Cup final and lost it. Won their Second Division group and lost the promotion play-off. Twice second instead of becoming a sensation. Good try, though.
Djurgardens IF did not have particularly strong league season, but still ended with a trophy in their hands. Yes, they met inferior opponent at the Cup final, but so what? It was significant victory: in their long and successful history Djurgardens IF never won the Cup so far – this was their first Cup, a remarkable event, a day to remember with pride.
