League Play-Off

Lönneberga Stadion
Spectators: 33 (Terracing: 26, 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. Hannes Hultstrand started the match with the kick off. In the 5th minute Hannes Hultstrand shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Ronny Ekström saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Fredrika IK's Per-Oskar Stephansson proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 8th minute of the match, managed to save Fredrika IK from getting a goal against them. Bengt-Rune Göransson's late challenge caught a South Park Cows's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Bengt-Rune Göransson helped the player get up and apologised. Bengt-Rune Göransson hit a great freekick 10 minutes into the match. The supporters of Fredrika IK booed when South Park Cows was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 15 match minutes in a wonderful position. Agne Wallman didn't get a good kick on the ball. Per-Oskar Stephansson made an important save on a dangerous shot by Carl Arenius in the 17th minute. Ian Snell's shot from long distance in the 27th minute was not bad at all, but Fredrika IK's Per-Oskar Stephansson knew what was happening and pushed the ball into his arms just before it hit the right post. In the 28th minute, Bengt-Rune Göransson hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Carl Arenius received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 29th minute. Per-Oskar Stephansson tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Per-Oskar Stephansson made an important save on a dangerous shot by Carl Arenius in the 37th minute. The supporters of South Park Cows booed when Fredrika IK was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 43 match minutes in a wonderful position. August Delin didn't get a good kick on the ball. Carl Arenius's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Per-Oskar Stephansson read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 45th minute of play. After 47 minutes of play Fredrika IK's Bengt-Rune Göransson was too eager in his attempt to stop his opponent and brought him down. With that he got his second yellow card and was ordered off the ground. In the 48th minute, Bengt-Rune Göransson hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. After a very even first half the match was still tied. The players went to their respective dressing rooms to discuss the tactics for the second half.

53 minutes into the game, Ludwig Matsson cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 1-0. Per-Oskar Stephansson was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. Ludwig Matsson recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 60th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. After 62 played minutes South Park Cows got a freekick which was hit by Ludwig Matsson. When Ludwig Matsson got the opportunity to take care of a free kick it resulted in a really dangerous shot that almost went in the goal. Instead the ball went too high, a missed opportunity for South Park Cows. The audience thought a goal was coming when Emanuel Johnsson got free with Ronny Ekström in the 66th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. If Emanuel Johnsson had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 67th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After a defensive mix-up in South Park Cows's zone, Hannes Hultstrand stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Ronny Ekström came out of the goal and Hannes Hultstrand tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. After some fancy dribbling in the 72nd minute, Carl Arenius managed to get in a good position for a shot. South Park Cows's supporters rose to their feet, but Carl Arenius was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Per-Oskar Stephansson breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. In the 77th minute, Agne Wallman hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Agne Wallman hit a great freekick 78 minutes into the match. The long shot by Tor Wennerlund in the 79th minute really tested Ronny Ekström's skills. The ball was on its way into the goal to the left of him when he managed to stretch himself and save the shot and avoid a goal. If Ludwig Matsson had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 84th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 91st minute, Kaj Kling hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. A collision led to Fredrika IK getting a freekick after 95 minutes play. Michael Fransson hit a great ball. Ludwig Matsson sent away a hard shot on goal in the 96th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Per-Oskar Stephansson showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Ludwig Matsson, who was totally free with the ball in the 98th minute. Fredrika IK's players left the field with heads hung low after losing a match that had been finely balanced throughout.
