League Play-Off

Ljusne -vallen
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Oliver Alén started the match with the kick off. 3 minutes into the match, Oxie's goal looked a bit too open when Jim Giliusson came free, but Emanuel Söderström reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Sture Alrot recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 11th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. In the 13th minute, Joel Bergqvist hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. After a defensive mix-up in Ljusne's zone, Sture Alrot stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Pontus Benett came out of the goal and Sture Alrot tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. If Oliver Alén had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 20th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 22 minutes into the match, Sture Alrot notched a goal, 0-1, to the right of Ljusne's Pontus Benett. Pontus Benett was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Oliver Alén recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 29th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Kevin Fredriksson sent away a hard shot on goal in the 32nd minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. Oxie's Sture Alrot got a good chance for a goal in the 38th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Pontus Benett showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Oliver Alén, who was totally free with the ball in the 40th minute. Luck had favoured the away team in the first, and they walked off with a 0-1 lead.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Kevin Fredriksson was the one to do the kick off. Oliver Alén fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 52nd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Pontus Benett having to interfere. Ljusne's Pontus Benett played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Oliver Alén in the 54th minute of play. 56 minutes into the game, Sture Alrot cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 0-2. Pontus Benett was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. Jim Giliusson sent away a hard shot on goal in the 61st minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 72nd match minute, Ljusne was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Jörn Sundberg to maneuver through the defense. 73 minutes into the match, Oxie's Jens-Erik Winström broke free and took a long shot that unfortunately flew wide. A fine initiative that could have resulted in a goal. Pontus Benett stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Oliver Alén's shot from short distance in the 76th minute. When Malcolm Alströmer came up free with the goalie in the 85th minute, the Oxie fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Malcolm Alströmer couldn't finish the play. Oliver Alén was extremely unlucky when he, in the 86th minute, took a shot that hit the right post and went out. After a defensive mix-up in Ljusne's zone, Edvard Alebom stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Pontus Benett came out of the goal and Edvard Alebom tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. When the final whistle sounded Oxie left the ground with the victory after a much better performance than Ljusne.
