League Play-Off

Munkfors
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. Olov Linberg started the match with the kick off. If Kent Kvalfält had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 9th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. An unexpectedly hard shot by Kevin Haglund in the 18th minute of play forced Grego's goalkeeper Niklas Gadd to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Niklas Gadd made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Malte Pihlberg in the 24th minute of play. Kevin Haglund struck a weak shot in the 44th minute. Niklas Gadd didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Hising Island FC. In the 46th minute Kent Kvalfält shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Vladyslav Borysenko saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. The first half was very even, with the score at 0-0 when the whistle went for half-time. The players welcomed the break and quickly retired to the dressing rooms.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Malte Pihlberg to strike the kick off in the second half. When Olov Linberg came up free with the goalie in the 52nd minute, the Grego 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 Olov Linberg couldn't finish the play. After a rather tough play, Hising Island FC's Kevin Haglund got a free kick in the 53rd minute. Niklas Gadd showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from André Wallgren, who was totally free with the ball in the 55th minute. Niklas Gadd showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Malte Pihlberg in the 57th minute of the match. When André Wallgren came up free with the goalie in the 60th minute, the Hising Island FC 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 André Wallgren couldn't finish the play. 0-1 became the score in the 67th minute when Malte Pihlberg elegantly shot the ball into goal just under the crossbar. In the 74th minute Malte Pihlberg shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Niklas Gadd saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. The crowd rose to their feet as Hising Island FC's Malte Pihlberg slotted home a wonderful shot that went in to the left of Niklas Gadd. That made the score 0-2 after 75 minutes of play. Malte Pihlberg received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 78th minute. Niklas Gadd tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Jörgen Salkvist kicked well hit freekick during the 81st minute of the match. Roy Andreasson might have been able to make a better finish in the 82nd minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Niklas Gadd. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Roy Andreasson ran back to his position shaking his head. After having played for 82 minutes, Malte Pihlberg managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Hising Island FC's supporters crossed their fingers, but Malte Pihlberg was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. In the 86thth minute of the game Malte Pihlberg who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Grego's Niklas Gadd was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. In the 87th minute, Olov Linberg hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Niklas Gadd showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Malte Pihlberg in the 95th minute of the match. When the match was over Hising Island FC could go home with a victory in their luggage, having controlled the game far better than Grego throughout the match.
