IS Halmia won a tight match against Glimåkra IF 1-0 on Saturday afternoon at Halmstad Arena P1 in Division 1 Södra Götaland for women. Despite the arena being empty of spectators, both teams were fully focused on the game.
The match was evenly matched, and it wasn't until the 59th minute that the first and only goal would be scored. It was the home team, IS Halmia, that found the net when number 19 Emma Nielsen struck the ball behind Glimåkra's goalkeeper.
After the goal, the match continued at a high tempo, with both teams fighting hard to get back into the game. Glimåkra desperately tried to equalize, but Halmia's defense held strong and stopped all attacks.
Several substitutions were made on both sides, but they did not have a major impact on the final score. When the referee blew the whistle to end the match, it was 1-0 to IS Halmia, who thereby secured three important points in the table.
The match was characterized by quite a bit of physical play from both teams, and Glimåkra's Olivia Johansson received a warning in the 85th minute. Despite this, it was a relatively fair match with only one yellow card.
Halmia supporters naturally celebrated the victory on social media, and the teams will meet again in a few weeks. Glimåkra IF has now taken one point from three matches played in Division 1 Södra Götaland, while IS Halmia is currently in fifth place after four matches played.
