Åtvidabergs FF welcomed Kalmar FF to their home ground at Kopparvallen in front of an audience of 4,033 spectators on Saturday afternoon. Åtvidabergs FF, sitting in 9th place in the table, was in a slump and was looking to secure three vital points against Kalmar FF, who were in 5th place and had recorded several victories recently.

The match began with both teams trying to find their rhythm and create goal-scoring chances. Kalmar FF had a dangerous opportunity after 13 minutes when David Elm had a shot opportunity, but his shot went over the goal. In the 21st minute, Elm received a yellow card for a rough tackle on an Åtvidaberg player.

However, it was Åtvidabergs FF who would take the lead in the match. In the 36th minute, Martin Christensen scored to make it 1-0 after a nice assist from John Owoeri. Kalmar FF continued to press but failed to pose a sufficient threat to the home team's goalkeeper.

In the second half, Åtvidabergs FF continued to dominate the game and was able to extend their lead after a free kick that Christensen converted into his second goal of the day. But Kalmar FF did not give up, and in the 61st minute, Måns Söderqvist reduced the deficit after a fine pass from Jonathan Ring.

Kalmar FF then tried to push for an equalizer and brought in Cesar Santin to create more chances. However, in the 65th minute, Kalmar FF nearly scored an own goal, and the ball crossed the goal line, allowing Åtvidabergs FF to increase their lead to 3-1.

After that, Kalmar FF was unable to create enough dangerous goal-scoring opportunities, and the match ended with a victory for Åtvidabergs FF. A crucial win for the home team that broke their slump and secured three important points in the battle to avoid relegation.
