Orgryte boosted their battle against relegation with a shock 3-0 win over ten-man Helsingborg in an eye-catching result.

Joel Ekstrand's dismissal in the 24th minute proved to have a significant bearing on the outcome, not least because it allowed Alvaro Dos Santos to open the scoring from the penalty spot.

Worse was to follow for the visitors after the interval, as Marcus Nilsson put through his own goal before Dos Santos struck again to ensure a comfortable victory.

The win lifts Orgryte above Hammarby in the table, but they remain third from bottom on 23 points. Helsingborg lie fifth.

Brommapojkarna upset Orebro by the same scoreline, Mauricio Albornoz setting them on their way inside two minutes.

Namesake Miiko and forward Olof Guterstam struck within a minute of each other early in the second half as the hosts leapfrogged struggling Halmstad in the table.
