Sweden: Örebro Black Knights overpower AIK in key road win

The Örebro Black Knights (6-1) overpowered AIK (3-4) 40-10 in a commanding road victory, fueled by quarterback Viktor Ekberg’s four touchdown passes at AIK’s Bergshamra Idrottsplats.

Ekberg’s aerial dominance
Ekberg dissected AIK’s secondary, connecting with Johannes Lindeus for two deep scores (60 and 30 yards) and hitting Jesper Lindeus and Gustav Claesson for additional touchdowns. The Black Knights’ QB showcased precision on play-action and rollout throws, capitalizing on AIK’s coverage breakdowns.

Special teams spark momentum
Jakub Brezina’s 70-yard kick return to AIK’s 15-yard line set up his own 15-yard rushing TD, while a forced fumble on the ensuing kickoff led to Claesson’s score. Kicker Edvin Jönsson added four PATs, extending Örebro’s lead.

AIK’s fleeting fightback
AIK’s early 3-0 lead via a field goal and a 60-yard TD pass to Hicks (10-6) quickly dissolved under Örebro’s pressure. Edward Anshelm’s fourth-quarter interception sealed the Knights’ defensive dominance, holding AIK scoreless after halftime.

Örebro’s sixth win cements their title credentials, while AIK’s sub .500 record reflects inconsistent execution. The Black Knights’ balance (4 passing TDs, 2 defensive takeaways) positions them as Sweden’s team to beat.
