Carlstad United secured an important away victory on Saturday evening when they defeated Bodens BK FF 1-0 at the Bodens Energi Arena. Despite the home advantage and support from 243 loyal fans, Boden could not reverse the trend and suffered their seventh loss of the season.
The match started with high intensity from both teams, but it was Carlstad who had most of the possession in the early stages. Boden tried to get into the game but struggled to establish any attacking play. After 38 minutes, Boden was harshly punished when midfielder Jack Green received a yellow card for a tough tackle.
Just before halftime, things heated up again on the pitch. This time, it was Boden’s midfielder Raymond Mendy who was cautioned after a violent tackle. Despite a doomsday atmosphere from the home crowd at halftime, Boden tried to take control of the match at the start of the second half. However, it was still Carlstad who dominated the play.
In the 82nd minute, the goal that would decide the match came. Carlstad's substitute Claes Nyman received the ball in the offensive half and finished securely past Boden's goalkeeper. Boden desperately tried to get back into the game, but it just wouldn’t happen. After the match, Boden's coach was disappointed but promised that the team would continue to fight to turn the tide. "We are going through a tough period right now, but we won’t give up, we will keep fighting," he concluded.
