Umeå FC hosted Västerås SK FK in an exciting match on Sunday afternoon at Umeå Energi Arena SOL. In front of an audience of 1,225, Umeå took control from the start and created several dangerous chances. However, Västerås's defense held firm, and the match was scoreless at halftime.

In the second half, things changed significantly, and it was the visitors, Västerås, who got off to a dream start. After 67 minutes, Simon Johansson put the away team ahead 1-0. Umeå, however, did not let this setback discourage them and continued to fight hard, which paid off. After a foul in the penalty area on Viktor Nilsson, the home team was awarded a penalty kick, which Dillan Ismail confidently converted past the Västerås goalkeeper in the 70th minute.

Umeå continued to press forward, and it was only a matter of time before they would score again. That goal came in the 83rd minute. Isaac Freitas Da Silva was in the right place at the right time and headed the ball in after a nice cross from the right. Västerås then tried everything they could to come back, but Umeå stood strong and secured an important 2-1 victory.

Referee Henrik Mohlin did a great job and maintained good discipline on the field. Umeå FC displayed an impressive fighting effort and earned three crucial points, while Västerås SK FK returned home empty-handed after a tough away match.
