Högsby IK claimed victory in Sunday's Division 3 match against Torstorps IF at home. Unfortunately, the attendance was zero, and the referees Henrik Melin, Andreas Pettersson, and Niclas Schultz officiated the match, which took place at Arena Ulf Davidson 1 in Högsby.
The match started really well for the home team as Emmanuel Dogbe was able to put the ball behind the Torstorps goalkeeper, giving Högsby a 1-0 lead already in the tenth minute.

Ola Pynnönen from Torstorps received a yellow card in the eighteenth minute, and just a few minutes later, Högsby's defense unfortunately couldn’t hold on when the ball was accidentally headed into their own goal, resulting in a 1-1 equalizer for Torstorps.
Viktor Björhn from Torstorps was cautioned in the thirty-third minute, and just a few minutes later, it was Joakim Berggren's turn to earn a yellow card for Högsby. However, in the fifty-seventh minute, Högsby managed to take the lead again when Ibrahim Kalilu Fofanah scored a headed goal to make it 2-1.
Torstorps opted to substitute Alexander Andersson for David Centeno Norberg in the seventieth minute, but it didn’t help either. They tried to change the game by substituting Viktor Björhn for Jesper Karlsson in the seventy-second minute, but they couldn’t get any closer, and the match ended with a 2-1 victory for Högsby IK.
