Örebro SK FK moved up to fourth in the Allsvenskan today after Mikael Steen's 45th-minute goal gave them a 1-0 win at Kalmar FF.
Set-piece goal
Steen struck on the stroke of half-time with a 20-metre free-kick which gave home keeper Petter Wastå little chance. Örebro's triumph, their first away from home this season, was even more impressive given that they were without three of their leading players; Fredrik Nordback, Boniventure Maruti and Paul Oyuga, through suspension.
Three points adrift
They are now just three points behind leaders Örgryte IS, although they have played a game more than their title-rivals.
