Hägersten's Jörgen Hernström played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Elliott Blanck in the 3rd minute of play. After 3 minutes, Simon Skoog mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Hägersten and the Botsmark players grew even worse after the yellow card.
