The Saturday match between IF Eksjö Fotboll and Tranås FF at Ränneborgs Arena offered an exciting goal feast. The Eksjö team started strong, and already in the seventh minute, Kajsa Nässén placed the ball in the net. Just three minutes later, Tilda Engberg followed up with an elegant shot that also resulted in a lead for Eksjö.
Tranås struggled to find their rhythm in the match, but it wasn't until the 29th minute that they managed to score a consolation goal through Hanna Sparv from a penalty. However, Eksjö continued to dominate, and in the 25th minute, Nässén increased her goal tally to two, restoring the comfortable lead.
But Tranås had not given up, and after a strong second half with two goals from Vilma Lindström and Maria Kåhlin, the match looked set to end in a 3-3 draw. However, Eksjö has two very skilled penalty takers in the team, and when the referee awarded a penalty to Eksjö in the 65th minute, Tilda Engberg secured Eksjö's victory with her second goal of the day.
It was a close and well-played match by both teams, but it was IF Eksjö Fotboll that came out on top, securing important points in the league. Both teams will play their next match in two weeks, and until then, Tranås needs to work on finding that extra something to push them over the finish line.
