BK Häcken advanced to the next round of the UEFA Europa League qualifiers after a commanding display against FC Spartak Trnava. The second leg, which took place on July 17, 2025, at Bravida Arena in Gothenburg, saw Häcken secure a comprehensive 6-0 victory, finalizing the aggregate score 7-0 in favor of the Swedish side[4].
Häcken entered the clash with a narrow 1-0 advantage from the first leg, thanks to Adrian Svanbäck’s decisive goal in Trnava. Spartak Trnava, struggling with a four-match losing streak and a worrying goal drought, failed to overturn the deficit[1][2].
The return leg became a statement performance by Häcken. By halftime, they had asserted dominance, and continued their goal spree through the second half, ultimately netting six times. Key attacking talent Isak Brusberg extended his recent strong form with another goal contribution, while Simon Gustafson opened the scoring with a penalty in the 13th minute[4][5].
Spartak Trnava could not find a breakthrough, extending their goalless run over their last five outings. The Swedish side’s high-tempo attack and defensive resilience left little doubt about the outcome, resulting in one of the biggest margin wins so far in the qualifying rounds[2].
With this emphatic victory, Häcken comfortably progress to the second qualifying round of the 2025/26 UEFA Europa League, while Spartak Trnava will look to regroup ahead of their restart in domestic competition[5].
