On a beautifully green Gamlestadsvallen in Gothenburg, a modest crowd of just 48 people gathered to witness the match between Serbiska KoIF Kozara and Älvsborg FF in Division 3 Nordvästra Götaland. Referee Niklas Nordin took his place on the field, and the match was ready to begin.
It didn't take long for Kozara to take the lead. Already after nine minutes, the excellent Sulayman Traoré used his speed and skill to outsmart the defense and score to make it 1-0. Kozara continued to apply pressure on their opponents, frustrating Älvsborg's defense.
Thirty-eight minutes into the match, Kozara was able to add their second goal on the scoreboard through Hadi Hamzeh. Älvsborg struggled to recover after that, and Kozara maintained control of the ball.
After a largely dominant first half from Kozara, the dynamics of the match changed significantly in the second half when Älvsborg made three substitutions. With fresh legs on the team, Älvsborg finally began to find openings and reduced the score through Erik Wallander, who scored to make it 2-1 after 76 minutes.
Kozara began to feel the pressure after Älvsborg's reduction, and just four minutes later, Filip Bergfelt netted the equalizer at 2-2. Älvsborg continued to press but failed to find the winning goal.
The match ended in a draw at 2-2. Älvsborg's fantastic fighting effort in the second half allowed them to take one point back home to Borås. Kenan Galijatovic received a yellow card for Kozara in the final minutes of the match, and Anjur Idrisson was substituted onto the pitch to provide additional strength to Kozara's midfield.
