It was a sunny yet breezy evening at Svanevallen when IK Svane hosted Kortedala IF in an exciting Division 3 match. The attendance wasn't the highest, with only 40 spectators in the stands, but those who were there were treated to a goal-filled affair.
The match started intensely, and already in the 13th minute, the referee brandished a yellow card to Kortedala's Bahadir Erdal. However, it was the home team that took the lead when Alexander Hedlund scored in the 14th minute. Just three minutes later, Marcus Knutsen increased the lead to 2-0 for IK Svane.
In the 35th minute, Knutsen netted his second goal of the evening, this time with a header, and the home team suddenly had a comfortable 3-0 lead. The referee continued to be busy with the yellow card, as both Albert Hiseni and Emil Albinsson also received warnings during the first half.
At halftime, IK Svane's coach opted for a substitution, bringing in Egzon Lajqi. This proved to be a successful change as Lucas Hallberg Wotango made it 4-0 just six minutes into the second half. Kortedala attempted to turn the tide with a substitution bringing on Dino Degirmendžić, but it wasn't enough to change the outcome.
IK Svane maintained their dominance, and in the 87th minute, Marcus Knutsen scored his third goal of the evening, securing his hat trick. The match ended 5-0 in favor of the home team, with Knutsen being the standout hero of the match.
The referee blew the final whistle, and IK Svane could celebrate a convincing victory in front of their home crowd at Svanevallen. Kortedala IF left without any points this time but will surely be eager for revenge in their next match.
