League Play-Off

Hjorted -vallen
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Sebastian Engström started the match with the kick off. When Henrik Salkvist fell near the penalty area in the 3rd minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Öxabäck BF's protests and gave Henrik Salkvist a yellow card for diving instead. Henrik Salkvist hit a great freekick 3 minutes into the match. After a defensive mix-up in Öxabäck BF's zone, Jens-Åke Gustafsson stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Oskar Skog came out of the goal and Jens-Åke Gustafsson tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Ivar Biörling received a nice pass, split the defenders, and ran untouched towards the goal. Oskar Skog came out and tried to block the shot, but Ivar Biörling slotted it home off the left post making it 1-0 in the 7th minute. Ivar Biörling sent away a hard shot on goal in the 12th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. With his leg Oskar Skog managed to avoid a goal in the 16thth minute, when Hjorted's Jens-Åke Gustafsson fired away a shot with a lot of spin towards his right hand side. After 18 minutes, Jan Browald mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Öxabäck BF and the Hjorted players grew even worse after the yellow card. The referee blew the whistle for a penalty in the 18th minute of the game. One of Öxabäck BF:s players had nearly got his shirt torn off by an opponent while getting free in front of Hjorted:s goal. In the 24th minute, Sebastian Engström got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. Jens-Åke Gustafsson fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 35th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Oskar Skog having to interfere. Jon Hammarberg kicked well hit freekick during the 39th minute of the match. When Jens-Åke Gustafsson came up free with the goalie in the 41st minute, the Hjorted 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 Jens-Åke Gustafsson couldn't finish the play. In the 43rd minute, Ivar Biörling got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. Oskar Skog didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Ivar Biörling went, in the 45th minute, to the upper right corner, 3-0 was the resulting score.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Ivar Biörling to make the kick off. Bengt-Arne Valström was a little too slow when Knut Alströmmer got a fine hit on the ball which went right into the goal in the 60th minute. The score was now 4-1. 67 minutes into the match, Jens-Åke Gustafsson notched a goal, 5-2, to the right of Öxabäck BF's Oskar Skog. Oskar Skog was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. In the 70th minute Ivar Biörling shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Oskar Skog saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Ture Pihlgren hit a great freekick 71 minutes into the match. After a defensive mix-up in Öxabäck BF's zone, Jens-Åke Gustafsson stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Oskar Skog came out of the goal and Jens-Åke Gustafsson tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Ture Pihlgren could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 81st minute of the match, but Bengt-Arne Valström made a huge save. Ivar Biörling struck a weak shot in the 84th minute. Oskar Skog didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Hjorted. An unexpectedly hard shot by Jens-Åke Gustafsson in the 85th minute of play forced Öxabäck BF's goalkeeper Oskar Skog to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Sivert Stolpe kicked well hit freekick during the 90th minute of the match. Bengt-Arne Valström stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Sebastian Engström's shot from short distance in the 94th minute.
