FBK Balkan won a tough and well-played match against Nosaby IF with a score of 4-2 at the Nya Vallbjörka A-plan. It was Nosaby who took the lead just six minutes into the game when Andréas Grahm headed the ball in after a nice corner from the left. However, FBK Balkan was not deterred and continued to play their game, even though they missed several clear opportunities.
Fabian Petersson received a warning in the 25th minute and then tried to increase the tempo of his team's attack. But it wasn't until the last minute of injury time in the first half that they scored when Carl Puumalainen managed to deflect the ball into the net after Naseer Naji saved two dangerous shots.
After halftime, Nosaby seemed to take control of the match, but Balkan's defense held them off. Instead, it was Florent Sopi who scored Balkan's second goal in the 56th minute, shaking Nosaby further.
Naji put in a notable performance between the posts for Nosaby, who could finally reduce the deficit to 3-2 in the 88th minute thanks to Naji himself, but it was too late. A late red card for Lucas Hallberg Wotango gave Nosaby a chance to equalize, but Balkan's Artan Beka put the final nail in the coffin with a stoppage-time goal, making it 4-2 for Balkan in the 94th minute.
A satisfying victory for FBK Balkan, who showed great fighting spirit and strength away from home. Nosaby needs to make some progress in their game going forward if they are to have a chance of advancing in the league.
