League Play-Off

Funäsdalen Stadion
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Rickard Sjöberg made the kick off which started today's match. Christian Sundström could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 3rd minute of the match, but Gustav Kellbom made a huge save. Egon Brodin received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 4th minute. Inge Västerstrand tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Jens-Erik Hybbert fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 14th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Inge Västerstrand having to interfere. When Christian Sundström came up free with the goalie in the 23rd minute, the Funäsdalen RK 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 Christian Sundström couldn't finish the play. Egon Brodin might have been able to make a better finish in the 39th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Inge Västerstrand. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Egon Brodin ran back to his position shaking his head. Jens-Erik Hybbert struck a weak shot in the 40th minute. Inge Västerstrand didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Frändefors FF. If Rickard Sjöberg had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 42nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Gustav Kellbom made an important save on a dangerous shot by Christian Sundström in the 44th minute. No-one was surprised that the home team were leading 1-0 at half-time.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Jens-Erik Hybbert to make the kick off. 52 minutes into the match, Funäsdalen RK's Rickard Sjöberg sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Gustav Kellbom narrowly saved just below the crossbar. Rickard Sjöberg struck a weak shot in the 54th minute. Gustav Kellbom didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Funäsdalen RK. Egon Brodin blasted a shot towards the goal in the 57th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Inge Västerstrand having to make a save. In the 67th match minute, Funäsdalen RK was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Rikard Viberg to maneuver through the defense. 68 minutes into the match, Funäsdalen RK's goal looked a bit too open when Jens-Erik Hybbert came free, but Inge Västerstrand reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. The audience thought a goal was coming when Egon Brodin got free with Inge Västerstrand in the 73rd minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. Frändefors FF's Gustav Kellbom played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Rickard Sjöberg in the 80th minute of play. Egon Brodin recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 84th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. In the 88th match minute, Funäsdalen RK was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Rickard Sjöberg to maneuver through the defense. When Aleksander Bäckström was, once again, overly rough in his play he received his second yellow card and was ordered off the ground. 91 minutes had been played. Aleksander Bäckström hit a great freekick 92 minutes into the match. After a rather tough play, Funäsdalen RK's Rikard Viberg got a free kick in the 94th minute. In the 95th minute, Jens-Erik Hybbert fired away a killer shot towards the goal that, to the delight of Inge Västerstrand, passed just outside the right post. In the 97th minute, Christian Sundström 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.
