Örebro defeated Östersund with a narrow 2-1 scoreline at Behrn Arena during Saturday night's match in Allsvenskan. The over 5,000 spectators witnessed a tough match where both teams showcased strong defensive play.

The match started with a warning just four minutes in when Örebro's Nordin Gerzic received a yellow card. Östersund's Rewan Amin also received a warning after six minutes, followed by another for Noah Sonko Sundberg in the 20th minute.

After a balanced match, it was Örebro that took the lead in the 34th minute with a goal from Victor Sköld, assisted by Gerzic. However, Östersund was not ready to give up and quickly responded with a goal from Tom Pettersson, assisted by Tesfaldet Tekie, leveling the score at 1-1 after 48 minutes.

But it was Örebro that would emerge as the winners in the end. Nordin Gerzic, who provided the assist for the first goal, scored the decisive goal himself to make it 2-1 in the 64th minute, this time assisted by Sköld.

Östersund made several substitutions in an attempt to secure an equalizer, but it did not go their way. They remained at 1-1 after 90 minutes and added time. Match referee Patrik Eriksson issued yet another warning to Dino Islamovic in the 86th minute and a final one to Hosam Aiesh in the very last minute of the match.
