Åtvidabergs FF and Halmstads BK played to a 0-0 draw at Kopparvallen in front of 2,689 spectators in Saturday's Allsvenskan match. Despite both teams needing and having the motivation to win, it was quite a dull affair with few dangerous chances.
The match started cautiously, and it wasn't until the 26th minute that the first yellow card was issued. Halmstad's Snorre Krogsgård received a warning for a foul. After that, there was no significant edge in play, and no major chances were created in the first half.
The second half began with a substitution for Åtvidaberg, as Alberis Sergio Angelo Da Silva came on for Daniel Hallingström in the 59th minute. A few minutes later, Simon Skrabb was also substituted, being replaced by Victor Sköld. However, the match continued at the same pace as in the first half, and neither team created any significant opportunities.
In the 64th minute, Halmstad made their first substitution when Eric Smith replaced Christoffer Andersson. Both teams continued to battle on, but without results. In the 81st minute, Halmstad substituted Mak Lind for Alexander Berntsson, and two minutes later, Åtvidaberg replaced John Owoeri with Mario Jelavic. Towards the end of the match, Halmstad created a few chances but were unsuccessful. In the 90th minute, James Keene was substituted for Shkodran Maholli, but the match ended 0-0.
It was a match with few highlights, and both teams seemed to lack a bit of confidence. Åtvidaberg thus remains at the bottom of the table, while Halmstad climbs one position in the standings. Referee Glenn Nyberg and assistant referees Daniel Gustavsson and Stefan Hallberg handled the match without any issues.
