The Sunday afternoon featured a delightful soccer match at Töllshov 1, where Gnosjö IF hosted the league leaders Råslätts SK. With 450 people in the stands, Gnosjö IF started the match strongly and took the lead within four minutes through Behar Ferizi. Ferizi was quick to make an impact, and 20 minutes later, he doubled Gnosjö's lead.
Råslätts SK did not lose hope and kept fighting. After 35 minutes, they managed to reduce the deficit with Elias Ibrahim converting a penalty kick. The pace of the match increased and it turned into a tough battle on the field, resulting in two cautions. Gnosjö's Marcus Salomonsson and Råslätt's Richard Harmis both ended up on referee Barech Afzal Khan's blacklist.
The second half started with high intensity from Råslätt, who continued to chase the equalizer. After 64 minutes, it was Matins Ebuka who found the net, and the match was suddenly tied. Gnosjö brought on Philip Hultegård and Ivan Zuna in an effort to regain the lead, but Råslätt kept pushing and aimed to take the lead instead.
The match ended in a tie, and due to other results in the league, Råslätt won the championship after a strong season. Gnosjö IF finished in eighth place, just below the midpoint of the table. Perhaps the most significant event of the match occurred in the final minutes of the second half when Råslätt's Sinisa Antonic received a red card and was sent off after a tough challenge. Thus, an intense match on the autumn grass at Töllshov 1 ended 2-2, and now it's time to prepare for the next soccer season.
