Notes edit

  1. ^ The game on 25 February was stopped near the beginning of the second half, with the score at 0–0, after fireworks set off in the stands by supporters of IFK Göteborg landed on the pitch. The abandonment of the match was declared soon afterwards. The game was originally rescheduled to 14:00 local time (UTC+1) on 26 February. GAIS appealed against this, with their goalkeeper Marko Johansson said to be suffering from headaches and hearing loss as a result of the disturbance during the original match.[1][2] The matter of deciding the outcome of the match was then referred to the Disciplinary Committee of the SvFF, who decided on 1 March to award a 0–3 victory to GAIS.[3]
