Östers IF secured a convincing victory when they faced FC Trollhättan on Saturday afternoon. Östers IF, who lead Division 1 Södra, showed no signs of wanting to lose their position.

FC Trollhättan, currently sitting in 12th place in the table, had little to say in response and continued to fight to keep the score down. However, Östers IF were too strong and scored another goal in the second half when Karl-Johan Lindblad converted a penalty in the 62nd minute.

Mattias Pavic received a yellow card for Östers IF after 42 minutes, while FC Trollhättan's Kenan Mehovic also got a yellow card in the 47th minute. Fredrik Sundström and Andreas Schmidt followed with cautions in the 60th and 62nd minutes. Then the tension escalated as substitutions began to happen on both sides of the field.
Östers IF controlled the game in the second half and managed to keep a clean sheet, despite FC Trollhättan taking a few more chances toward the end of the match. Unfortunately, Daniel Ahonen Örn received a yellow card after 85 minutes, but it did little to benefit the visitors.
The match ended 5-0 in favor of Östers IF, allowing the team to continue leading the table, while FC Trollhättan will need to work hard to improve their position.
