Malmo preview: Looking for their first win in three league games
However, two dramatic stoppage-time goals saw the Swedish side come out with a 4-3 win on the night and a 6-5 victory on aggregate.
Malmo are winless in their last two league matches, and they will be out to snap that run when they step out this weekend against the struggling Norrkoping.
The hosts drew 1-1 against Mjallby in their penultimate league contest, before they played out a 0-0 draw when squared up to GAIS in their last league exertion.
Nevertheless, their dominance could be a source of confidence for the out-of-sorts hosts on Sunday.
Predicted lineup: Ellborg (GK), Stryger, Karlsson, Busanello, Zatterstrom, Rosengren, Bolin, Johnsen, Ali, Berg & Kiese

Norrkoping preview: Winless in the last four league outings
Norrkoping have struggled in the Swedish top division lately, having failed to win in their last four league outings, recording two draws and two losses in the process.
Since they claimed a 2-1 victory over Sirius in May, they have been somewhat rudderless, and they will be looking to get back to winning ways this weekend.
That wretched run of results leaves them 12th in the standings with 15 points across 12 fixtures.
Predicted lineup: Cavallius (GK), Timossi, Hovland, Bjorkander, Cotton, Ackermann, Kurochkin, Ngouali, Lind, Jacobsen & Nyman
