The Zambian duo Edward ‘Tiger’ Chilufya and Emmanuel Banda were both present this afternoon when Djurgården barely won at Häcken to seal a 3rd place in the league and qualify for next season’s UEFA Europa Conference League.

Chilufya, who put in a good ninety-minute shift, was involved in the match’s only goal.

The former Mpande Youth man played a nice pass to club captain Magnus Eriksson, who passed a “sea” of opponents before coolly finding the net in the 12th minute.

Emmanuel Banda was introduced in the 79th minute for the injured Hampus Finndell to add steel to the midfield when the visitors were on for a narrow 1-0 victory.

Today’s round marked the end of the Allsvenskan season 2021, Sweden’s highest league competition.

Djurgården finishes 3rd, only 2 points behind the new league champions, Malmö FF.

In terms of statistics, winger Edward ‘Tiger’ Chilufya scored 8 goals and 3 assists in 28 games.

While midfielder Emmanuel Banda, who for the most part got a “super-sub” role, recorded 4 goals in 21 games.

The new league season is expected to begin on January 10.
