Harambee Stars midfielder Eric Johana had a hand in all goals as Jönköpings Södra picked up their first away victory.
Kenyan international Eric Johana had a Man of the Match performance for Jönköpings Södra in the 1-2 win over GIF Sundsvall in the Swedish Superettan on Tuesday.
Johana is currently in a rich vein of form as this becomes his third goal of the season in eight matches after starting three of those from the bench.
The former Mathare United midfielder has now scored in back to back games after bagging a goal from the spot-kick in the 3-1 win over Landskrona last time out.
The 26-year-old raced down the touchline before squaring the ball to Adrian Edqvist who tapped home the opener in the ninth minute.
Sundsvall pulled level with six minutes left on the clock to the halftime break as Pontus Engblom bagged his fifth goal of the season.

Johana notched his goal in the 58th minute, neatly bringing the ball down after Jesper Svensson located him with a long pass to fire the ball home.
The former Brommapojkarna midfielder was unfortunate to pick up a yellow card in stoppage time as he tried to prevent Sundsvall from earning a point.
The victory marks Södra’s first away win this season and sees them climb to eighth on the log with 11 points from eight games.
Södra are now just five points off automatic promotion places that would see Johana join the likes of Joseph Okumu and Eric Ouma who turn out for Elfsborg and AIK respectively in the Swedish Allsvenskan.
