Elfsborg have claimed the bragging rights in the Västderby, with Wikström scoring twice just before half-time.
Coming from behind at Gamla Ullevi, two quick-fire headers just before the break were enough to secure a vital 2-1 victory over rivals IFK Goteborg and climb into third place in the Allsvenskan table.
This was always going to be more than just a derby; it was a crossroads for both clubs. For IFK Goteborg, this was a golden opportunity to secure a third consecutive home win and firmly plant themselves in the race for European football. Elfsborg, on the other hand, made the short trip desperate to snap a three-match winless run, a streak that had put a serious dent in their title aspirations and left them searching for answers in attack.
It was the home side who initially seized control of the narrative. In the 26th minute, Sebastian Clemmensen pounced inside the box following a corner, firing Goteborg into the lead (1-0).
But the script for this derby had a dramatic twist waiting in the wings. Just five minutes before the break, under the watchful eye of referee Mohammed Al-Hakim, Elfsborg responded, with Rasmus Wikström rising highest to head his side level (1-1).
The comeback was completed on the stroke of half-time, as Wikström, in a stunning display of aerial prowess, once again found the net with a header, leaving the home crowd at Gamla Ullevi silenced (1-2).
For Goteborg, the defeat is a bitter pill to swallow, confirming pre-match fears about their defensive frailties and undoing their hopes of building momentum. The result marks their fourth defeat in eight home league games this season and leaves them a significant seven points adrift of the European qualification spots. They will need to find a way to make their home ground a fortress again if they are to salvage their European ambitions.
Elfsborg, however, will travel back home rejuvenated, this victory emphatically ending their goal drought and their winless streak. They answered the pre-match questions about their attack in the most dramatic fashion, proving their resilience on the road by extending their undefeated away run to four matches. This crucial derby win not only provides a massive morale boost but also solidifies their position among the league's front-runners as they get their campaign firmly back on track.
