On Sunday afternoon, Halmstads BK faced Kalmar FF at Örjans Vall. According to the standings, it was a match where the guests were favorites, but it was the home team that took the lead just one minute into the game. Stefan Selakovic put the ball in the net, and the Kviborg fans could celebrate.
The rest of the first half was characterized by fairly lackluster play. Only two yellow cards were issued. Kristoffer Fagercrantz was the first to receive a card for being a bit too tough in his defensive play, while Papa Alioune Diouf was cautioned with a yellow card just before the referee blew the whistle for halftime.
The second half began with Kalmar FF scoring a goal in the 62nd minute. Ismael Silva Lima was the one who took the shot. The home team became noticeably nervous after this goal. Things didn't improve when Stefan Selakovic received a yellow card a few minutes later.
Kalmar FF took advantage of the nerves and advanced up the pitch. In the 77th minute, Romario Pereira Sipiao scored after a nice pass from Emin Nouri. Halmstad made an attempt to equalize, but it didn't work out. Substitute Antonio Rojas received a yellow card in the 81st minute. The match ended 1-2, and Kalmar FF could head home with three points.
