On a sunny Saturday afternoon, 6,636 spectators gathered at Örjans Vall for the match between Halmstads BK and Kalmar FF in Allsvenskan. Referee Daniel Stålhammar, along with his assistant referees Stefan Hallberg and Henrik Bogdan, had a firm grip on the match from start to finish, but they couldn’t ignite the game, resulting in a scoreless draw.
The match started with an intense press from the home team, and Halmstads BK managed to create several dangerous goal-scoring opportunities during the first half hour. Despite this, they failed to get the ball into the net, and the match remained tied.
After 26 minutes, Halmstad's midfielder, Joe Sise, received a warning for a tough tackle. Kalmar FF slowly but surely fought their way back into the match and substituted Ricardo Da Silva Dos Santos for Daniel Freire Mendes after 65 minutes. The substitution boosted Kalmar FF's attacking play, but they still failed to create anything dangerous.
Halmstads BK brought on Javier Hernández for Shkodran Maholli after 69 minutes and attempted once again to take the lead, but Kalmar FF's defense held firm. A couple of substitutions from Kalmar FF, where Marcel Silva Sacramento replaced Mattias Johansson and Abiola Dauda replaced Daniel Lopes Silva, gave them more momentum, but still no results.
Abiola Dauda received a warning after 80 minutes, and despite an intense finish to the match from both sides, neither team managed to score. Halmstads BK substituted Kujtim Bala and José Zamora Girona for Raúl Ruiz Matarin and Michael Görlitz after 85 minutes, but it was not enough to secure a victory.
The match ended 0-0, and both teams could look back on a well-fought match and an important point. Halmstads BK strengthened their position in the middle of the table, while Kalmar FF remained in the lower part of the table with only one point after three rounds.
