FALKENBERG, Sweden (AP) - Malmo beat Falkenberg 3-0 on Wednesday to secure its 19th Swedish championship with two rounds remaining in the spring-fall Allsvenskan league.
Second-placed Norrkoping lost to Elfsborg and dropped seven points behind Malmo in the league table with six points left to play for.
Jo Inge Berget, Mattias Svanberg and Alexander Jeremejeff scored for Malmo, which won the league in 2013 and 2014 before losing the title to Norrkoping last year.
Malmo fans stormed the pitch in Falkenberg after the final whistle to celebrate the victory, which means Malmo becomes the first Swedish team with 19 league titles. Before this season, Malmo and Goteborg both had 18.
