Nittorps IK managed to secure an incredibly important victory over Bergdalens IK at Björkängsvallen. After a closely contested match that went all the way to the final whistle, the away team returned home with the win after surpassing their opponents with a score of 4 - 3.
The match began with a warning issued to Nittorps IK's Elin Hallin after 35 minutes. Immediately after that, Moa Glans scored the first goal for Bergdalens IK, following a nice pass from Ellen Hellsén just a minute later. Hellsén continued to show her skills by scoring the team's second goal only four minutes later. It seemed like Bergdalens IK had complete control over the match.
However, at the beginning of the second half, Nittorps IK started to find their footing in the game, and Malin Gollwitzer reduced the score to 2 - 1. This was followed by a warning to Julia Axengren just a minute later. However, this did not prevent Nittorps IK from matching Bergdalens IK in all areas. Klara Lindberg then scored the team's fourth goal with just five minutes left in the match, giving the team a solid lead.
Bergdalens IK, however, did not give up and fought until the last minute. Josefine Stendahl was substituted in for Amanda Platenik in the 80th minute, allowing the team to reinforce their attacking line. However, this was not enough for a victory, as Nittorps IK's Louise Josefsson was substituted in the 85th minute, and just moments later, Ida Toresson scored a brilliant goal for the team. It was only in stoppage time that Bergdalens IK managed to score a third goal, resulting in the final score of 3-4.
The crowd had been on edge the entire match and really wanted to see Bergdalens IK win, but Nittorps IK managed to pull off an upset and seize all three points. This was an unpretentious message from Nittorps IK that they are a team that others must watch out for. Caroline Johannesson was undoubtedly a competent referee throughout the match, assisted by Hannes Persson and Muhidin Ali. With an audience of 95, one can only hope that more supporters will come to the next match.
