Semifinals:

IFK Goteborg lost to Djurgardens IF 0-2 and 1-0.
The final opposed Djurgardens IF to Malmo FF. And was not much of a contest… Malmo FF kept the hosts at bay in the first match in Stockholm: 0-0. Then destroyed them in front of their own crowd 7-3.
Overall, good season for Djurgardens IF. Unable to win the title, though. Silver was fine.
Malmo FF collected one more title – their 16th – and in good style too. Interesting squad – Malmo FF was only Swedish club to stay consistently strong and able to change generations painlessly. Jan Moller represented the old, Jonas Thern – the new.
