AIK lost its cup match against Västerås with new signing Amel Mujanic starting on the bench. Coach José Riveiro reportedly cited tactical reasons for Mujanic not starting. Mujanic, who was named the best player in the Superettan last season, has not been a regular starter in preseason matches in Spain.

According to Mujanic, players were informed of the starting lineup only three hours before kickoff, a change from previous practices where they were told a day or two in advance.
