Samuel Adegbenro netted a consolation as IFK Norrkoeping suffered a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Halmstads BK in a Swedish Allsvenskan clash at Oerjans Vall.

The former Rosenborg star has been in fine form this season with his 77th minute strike that halved the deficit taking his tally to 11 goals in 20 matches across all competitions.
