It was a scorching Sunday afternoon at Åhus IP A-plan when Åhus IF faced Färjestadens GOIF in Division 2 Southern Götaland for women. Unusually, there was no audience present to encourage the players. Referee Pontus Jönsson was assisted by Michael Engleson and Robin Bornehag.
The match started well for the home team Åhus IF as they controlled the game and tried to find gaps in Färjestadens GOIF's defense. In the 17th minute, an Åhus player received a warning after a tough tackle. After just over 40 minutes, Åhus IF managed to take the lead with a goal from number seven, Josefine Mårtensson. The atmosphere on the field lifted, and it smelled of a home victory.
But just when Åhus IF thought they had control of the match, Färjestadens GOIF fought back with a goal from Thelma Olofsson in the 49th minute. Åhus IF's confidence was shaken, and in the 61st minute, Färjestadens GOIF's Frida Johansson received a warning, but she didn't care. Just eight minutes later, she scored a goal, and then Ofelia Medhammar added the third and decisive goal for the visitors in the 75th minute.
After the match, the Åhus players were disappointed while Färjestadens GOIF celebrated a much-anticipated victory. Åhus IF remains in eighth place in the table while Färjestadens GOIF climbs up to second place.
