Helsingborgs IF faced a tough challenge when they took on Åtvidabergs FF at Olympia on Wednesday evening. The audience, which comprised 7,130 people, hoped for an exciting match, but it turned out to be a game without a winner as the final score was 0-0.

During the second half, HIF continued to show good form, but once again it was difficult to create significant goal-scoring chances. In the 57th minute, Daniel Sjölund received a yellow card. Åtvidabergs FF then brought in Ricardo Da Silva Dos Santos for John Owoeri in the 64th minute, and shortly after, Alberis Sergio Angelo Da Silva was replaced by Månz Berg.
Helsingborgs IF also made substitutions, and in the 70th minute, Robin Simovic was replaced by Emmanuel Agyenim Boetang, followed by Elias Andersson being substituted for Alvaro Santos. In the 83rd minute, Abdul Rahman Khalili received a yellow card, and just a few minutes later, Petter Gustafsson was brought in for Imad Zatara.
Despite both teams attempting several times, neither managed to find the back of the net, and the match ended 0-0. In the end, it was a well-deserved point for both teams, although the audience likely would have preferred to see a few more goals. The referee for the match was Mohammed Al-Hakim, and the assistant referees were Mikael Hallin and Daniel Ekman.
