Mjällby AIF defeated Malmö FF 4-0 in the Swedish Cup quarterfinal. Elliot Stroud scored the opening goal and assisted on the second goal. Mjällby will play Gais in the semifinal on Sunday.
After the match, Mjällby coach Karl Marius Aksum praised Stroud, saying he is one of the players who could play in the Premier League in the future. Aksum reportedly does not believe Mjällby will sell Stroud this summer, preferring to keep him to increase chances of European play and let him leave for free in the winter. Aksum also said Stroud deserves a place in the Sweden national team squad for the World Cup playoff, calling him the best in the Allsvenskan.
