Ghanaian attacker Abdul Fatawu Safiu scored the only goal to secure all points for Trelleborgs FF at home to Västerâs SK.
The former Kumasi Asante Kotoko striker scored from the spot on the 75th minutes to put the host ahead in the game after a goalless first 45 minutes.
The 27-year-old netted the winner in a frenetic encounter to help the Blue and Whites to end their three matches losing streak in the Sweden Superettan.
Trelleborgs moved to eighth on the league log after their hard-fought narrow win at home over the Green and Whites.
Safiu was subbed off two minutes after his goal and was replaced by Swedes international Matias Hakansson.
Fatawu has four goals in 11 outings in the Swedish second tier this 2020-21 season.
