Värnamo provided a memorable football experience at Finnvedsvallen when they faced BK Häcken in Allsvenskan on July 22. In front of 2,328 spectators, the match kicked off in the afternoon. Referee Richard Sundell blew the whistle and the match began. Both teams delivered an intense start to the game, but it would take until the second half before either team managed to break through the opponent's defense.

At halftime, BK Häcken substituted number 9 Ola Kamara for Amor Layouni, hoping to find a way through the home team's defense. Midway through the second half, Värnamo also replaced Frank Junior Agyei and Viktor Bergh with Hampus Näsström and Albin Lohikangas in hopes of finding a new attacking strategy.

BK Häcken showcased themselves as the better team in the final minutes of the match when they brought in Tobias Sana, Filip Trpcevski, Franklin Degaulle Tebo Uchenna, and Isak Brusberg. They tried to create chances going forward, but Värnamo’s goalkeeper stood firm in goal, stopping all their attempts. In the 91st minute, Värnamo received an unexpected free-kick in a promising position. Simon Thern was ready to take it and successfully shot the ball into the net. Hampus Näsström had just played a nice pass to him, and Thern finished in the best possible way.

The match concluded with a few final substitutions from Värnamo and BK Häcken in hopes of turning the game around, but no one succeeded in scoring again. The final result was 1-0 in favor of Värnamo. A well-deserved victory for the home team, who put on a strong defense and a sharp offense when the opportunity arose.
