The ball went over the crossbar instead. Hubert Göransson showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Arvin Larsson in the 26th minute of the match. An unexpectedly hard shot by Arvin Larsson in the 29th minute of play forced Bygdsiljum's goalkeeper Hubert Göransson to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball.
