Stockholm, Sweden – Sixteen-year-old kevin Filling scored a dramatic 96th-minute header to secure a 2-1 victory for AIK Fotboll against Brommapojkarna (BP) on Sunday. The goal, celebrated wildly by AIK supporters, solidified AIK’s third-place position in the Swedish Allsvenskan league and narrowed the gap with league leaders Hammarby.
The match saw a late surge from AIK, with manager Rikard Norling making several substitutions in the final twenty minutes. These included bringing on new signing axel Kouame and academy graduate Kevin Filling, who had recently returned from injury. Anton Salétros was also substituted due to injury.
After a sweeping cross from Mads Thychosen from the left flank, filling rose unmarked in the penalty area to head the ball past the BP goalkeeper. This was Filling’s second Allsvenskan goal for AIK.
“Fantastic. Always fantastic to score,” Filling said after the match, describing the moment as a release of emotion. “the ball comes in and I just nod. I don’t know what happens later, it’s just an amazing feeling. Everything released.Everything just flashes. It’s an amazing feeling.”
AIK manager Rikard Thomassen was effusive in his praise for the young talent. “I’m extremely proud. He is a very humble guy who works tremendously hard. He wants to learn and plays with tremendous courage. He just drives. There is a huge force in Kevin. He is entirely fearless. Very cool to have him back. It is a healthy fan in the squad and it also sends a signal to our academy players that it is possible to take their place here. But we need to work systematically with filings to get a proper advancement over time.”
Thomassen also indicated that filling is close to earning a starting position, acknowledging his rapid development but also cautioning the need for a careful return to full fitness after his recent injury.”Kevin is definitely close to a starting eleven. We value him highly. But what we need to have with us is that he has been away for six to seven weeks, it takes some time to train physics.We want to ensure his way back. Tonight he had maybe a half in him. But in terms of performance and development, he is so far ahead that we value playing him from the start.”
Filling had previously scored his first Allsvenskan goals earlier this summer against IFK Gothenburg.
