[edit] Career
Gustafsson started playing for IFK Stockholm and went to IFK Norrköping before moving to Norway in 2002, playing for Molde FK. He was their first choice for three seasons, but as his contract expired after the 2004 season he decided to find a new club. He went on several fruitless trials for clubs in Europe and the USA, and joined another Norwegian club, Hamarkameratene. The stay only lasted for year. After the 2005 season, Gustafsson signed with FK Lyn. On 8 January 2009 it was announced that Gustafsson had signed a contract with FC Red Bull Salzburg.
On 18 April 2010 – in an Austrian Premier League match against LASK Linz, Gustafsson broke his leg after a foul by Linz forward Lukas Kragl. As Gustafsson went to clear the ball following a through pass, Kragl tried to block but was late and caught Gustafsson midway up his left shin. Gustaffson broke both his tibia and fibula in the tackle. Kragl only received a yellow card for the tackle, whilst the same punishment was given to Gustafsson's team mate Christoph Leitgeb for his reaction towards Kragl following the foul. Gustafsson underwent surgery the same night.
In the meantime he renewed his contract till 2015 and played for the first time after the foul as goalkeeper in the testmatch aganist FC Spartak Moscow on 20 January 2011.[1]
[edit] International
Gustafsson made his debut for Sweden on 31 January 2000 in a 1–0 win against Denmark.[2] He was a stand-by player in UEFA Euro 2004 and 2008.[3][4]
