On a sunny Saturday afternoon, the home team Hedens IF faced the visiting Kiruna FF at Olympia in Heden. In front of an audience of 53 people and under the guidance of referees Simon Granström, Robert Ridefors, and Jakob Bokvist, the match kicked off.
Just ten minutes into the match, Hedens IF received a warning when Ramin Sultanov played a bit too aggressively. It would only take another 22 minutes before the visiting team Kiruna FF scored their first goal through Adam Johnson. Just two minutes later, the team from Kiruna increased their lead through Emil Lund. Kieren Conibear-Trathen received a yellow card for the visiting team after half an hour of play.
However, the home team did not want to give up and fought their way back into the match through Precious Idodo Johnson, who scored a penalty and reduced the score to 1-2. Unfortunately for Hedens IF, they would soon face difficulties when Ramin Sultanov received his second yellow card and was sent off just before halftime. Sultanov's dismissal posed an additional challenge for the already pressured home team, which struggled to get a grip on the visiting side.
The second half proved to be a one-sided affair for Kiruna FF, who began it with a direct red card shown to Macdonald Igbinoba John after receiving two yellow cards. Right at the start of the half, Hedens IF substituted in Carl Mattsson, but unfortunately, it did not help much. Instead, the visiting team scored their fourth goal through Emil Lund, further extending their lead. Gibson Theodore Bardsley entered the game for Kiruna FF and scored the team's fifth goal.
Kiruna FF did not let up, and in the 80th minute, the team struck again, with Adam Johnson scoring his second goal of the match. With just six minutes remaining, the yellow card was again used to caution Gibson Theodore Bardsley. In the final minutes, Mac Chahrour was substituted for Max Smedkvist in Kiruna FF, and just before the final whistle, Adam Johnson scored his third and Kiruna FF's sixth goal of the day, which also became the final score.
Hedens IF is now closer to the bottom of the table in Division 3 Norra Norrland, while Kiruna FF continues to rise and sits in third place.
