Örebro SK FK faced IK Gauthiod at Grönpepparparkens IP A on Thursday evening. With only 98 spectators present, it was an intense game that propelled the match forward. It didn't take long for Örebro to open the scoring as Anna Meijer found the net after just 10 minutes. She doubled the lead eight minutes later to make it 2-0.
The goals didn't come pouring in directly, but IK Gauthiod managed to reduce the deficit to 2-1 after half an hour of play. Sigrid Verngren scored a lovely free kick behind the Örebro goalkeeper. After this, the nerves eased in the match, and both teams tried to play through the midfield, but there was a lot of frantic play on both sides with several mistakes.
The second half felt less successful for IK Gauthiod as Linnéa Bergman was sent off, leaving the team to struggle with one player less than their opponents. Unfortunately, Örebro was unable to make a significant impression during the first 20 minutes of the second half, leading to many substitutions on both sides. However, after 79 minutes, Örebro was able to make it 3-1 and secure the victory thanks to a fine performance by Antonia Jalkinger. The match ended 3-1 in favor of Örebro SK FK.
Referee Amanda Nylund Karman and assistants Amanda Davidsson and Vendela Högqvist maintained order on the pitch without any major problems, and the match flowed fairly smoothly. Örebro was able to win and consolidate their position in the table while IK Gauthiod will have to regroup for the remainder of the season.
