It was an exciting match that took place at Rosvalla IP between Nyköpings BIS and Carlstad United BK. Before the match, the teams were positioned differently in the table, which meant that Carlstad United was under significant pressure to perform.
However, it took nearly half an hour before the first yellow card was issued to Carlstad's Erik Jernberg. Just one minute later, in the 30th minute, Nyköping took the lead through Alen Ahmetovic. The match's first headed goal was a delight for the home crowd.
Following this, a certain frustration arose for the visiting team when the second yellow card of the match was given to Enis Ahmetovic in Nyköping just before halftime. After 44 minutes into the match, Carlstad had their chance at a penalty after a hard fall in the penalty area by their player Uchenna Ike. He managed to put it in the net easily, equalizing the match.
In the second half, Nyköping appeared to take control after scoring their second goal of the match. It was Ekin Bulut who pushed the ball over the goal line in the 54th minute. Carlstad tried to respond, but the substitutions of Joel Gustavsson and Claes Nyman did not change the course of the match.
In the 81st minute, Carlstad made a substitution that would turn out to change the match. Rafael dos Santos da Silva came on and immediately created chances. The match continued through regular time until two red cards were issued after the 86th minute for Nyköping and Carlstad.
After this, both teams tried to push forward while also suffering additional red cards, including Nyköping's assistant coach Robert Andersson. But it was Carlstad who had the final word with John Junior Igbarumah's goal in injury time, which equalized the score to 2-2.
Although the teams were unable to decide the match, it was an entertaining game that saw Carlstad United BK remain in 3rd place in the table, while Nyköping BIS stayed at position 11. The crowd at Rosvalla IP A witnessed a match filled with drama, hard play, and excitement right up to the final kick of the game.
