An own goal in the 85th minute from Gustav Hammar gave Mjallby a consolation, as reported by BK Hacken's official website.

Sadiq has been the hero for Hacken in the Svenska Cup, scoring six goals in seven matches to see them win the title again.

"Another one Hesingen," wrote the forward on Instagram as he celebrated their triumph.

The Right to Dream Academy graduate won the league with Hacken in his first season and has now added the Swedish Cup to his list of laurels.

He was also on target in the league last week as BK Hacken thrashed Degerfors 6-1 at home.

Despite his prolific form, the 21-year-old has been battling injuries and was withdrawn after 45 minutes on Thursday.

He is expected to be fully fit for the game against league leaders Malmo this weekend.
