League Play-Off

Melonas
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. Gösta Nyqvist started the match with the kick off. If Börge Månsson had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 3rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Börge Månsson's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Axel Fransson read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 6th minute of play. With a little luck, Tvärred BF's Axel Fransson got control of the ball when Börge Månsson tried to sneak it across the goal line. After 13 minutes of play, Tvärred BF's Gösta Nyqvist made it 0-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Emil Larsson was left in no man's land by his defense there! After a rather tough play, Tvärred BF's Bernt Bure got a free kick in the 21st minute. Gösta Nyqvist's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Emil Larsson read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 25th minute of play. Championer & Meloner's Börge Månsson suffered a concussion after 27 minutes and had to leave the field. After a rather tough play, Tvärred BF's Holger Sjögren got a free kick in the 28th minute. 34 minutes into the game, Andréas Bålström was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Tvärred BF's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Championer & Meloner the free kick. In the 35th minute, Andréas Bålström hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Championer & Meloner's Emil Larsson played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Robin Nilsson in the 45th minute of play. Gösta Nyqvist recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 48th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 0-1 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Leif Hedlund stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. In the 52nd match minute, Tvärred BF was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Andréas Bålström to maneuver through the defense. Gösta Nyqvist struck a weak shot in the 56th minute. Emil Larsson didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Tvärred BF. An unexpectedly hard shot by Leif Hedlund in the 58th minute of play forced Tvärred BF's goalkeeper Axel Fransson to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Emil Larsson made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Gösta Nyqvist in the 60th minute of play. Emil Larsson made a fantastic save in the 62nd minute, when Robin Nilsson sent off a good shot on target. Axel Fransson showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Leif Hedlund in the 69th minute of the match. A collision led to Championer & Meloner getting a freekick after 84 minutes play. Joakim Forssberg hit a great ball. Holger Sjögren was probably a little too eager to shoot when he, in the 85th played minute, shot the ball from way out. The shot was hard, but the ball flew wide of the goal. When Robin Nilsson came up free with the goalie in the 87th minute, the Tvärred BF 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 Robin Nilsson couldn't finish the play. Axel Fransson showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Leif Hedlund in the 94th minute of the match. Championer & Meloner's Emil Larsson proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 96th minute of the match, managed to save Championer & Meloner from getting a goal against them.
