League Play-Off

Rönninge Stadion
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. Sven-Oskar Biörnberg started the match with the kick off. The supporters of Rönninge FK booed when Älgarås IF was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 7 match minutes in a wonderful position. Mathias Linberg didn't get a good kick on the ball. Östen Ekström struck a weak shot in the 8th minute. Mathias Josefsson didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Rönninge FK. In the 13th minute Sven-Oskar Biörnberg suffered a thigh injury and had to be helped off the field. 12 minutes into the game, one of Älgarås IF:s players got tackled near the goal, and the referee blew for a penalty. Morgan Beck struck a weak shot in the 18th minute. Sören Magnusson didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Älgarås IF. If Christopher Kruuse had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 30th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 38th minute Morgan Beck shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Sören Magnusson saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. After some fancy dribbling in the 39th minute, Evert Örnberg managed to get in a good position for a shot. Älgarås IF's supporters rose to their feet, but Evert Örnberg was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Sören Magnusson breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. After some fancy dribbling in the 46th minute, Morgan Beck managed to get in a good position for a shot. Älgarås IF's supporters rose to their feet, but Morgan Beck was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Sören Magnusson breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. After fighting hard for a draw in the first half, the players were able to take a much needed rest.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Morgan Beck stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. When Christoffer Hjelm came up free with the goalie in the 53rd minute, the Rönninge FK 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 Christoffer Hjelm couldn't finish the play. Morgan Beck fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 55th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Sören Magnusson having to interfere. Sören Magnusson took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Morgan Beck, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Evert Örnberg received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 63rd minute. Sören Magnusson tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. In the 68th minute Morgan Beck shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Sören Magnusson saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. In the 71st minute, Christoffer Hjelm hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Rönninge FK's Sören Magnusson played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Morgan Beck in the 75th minute of play. When Christopher Kruuse fell near the penalty area in the 76th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Rönninge FK's protests and gave Christopher Kruuse a yellow card for diving instead. After a rather tough play, Rönninge FK's Christopher Kruuse got a free kick in the 77th minute. Evert Örnberg sent away a hard shot on goal in the 78th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. A collision led to Rönninge FK getting a freekick after 81 minutes play. Walter Bergman hit a great ball. Anton Nordström took a chance and fired a shot far from the goal in the 82nd minute, but it turned out to be a dangerous situation for Sören Magnusson. Rönninge FK's goalkeeper really had to stretch himself to stop the ball from crossing the goal line. If Evert Örnberg had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 83rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 90th minute, Christopher Kruuse 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. Sören Magnusson showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Morgan Beck, who was totally free with the ball in the 93rd minute. After having played for 96 minutes, Evert Örnberg managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Älgarås IF's supporters crossed their fingers, but Evert Örnberg was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal.
