Västerås IK faced IK Franke tonight on the road at Råby IP 3 (artificial turf) in front of 180 spectators. The match was part of Division 3 Norra Svealand in men's football and was officiated by Martin Thorén, assisted by Andreas Haraldsson and Peter Haglund. In the 25th minute, Västerås IK excited the crowd with an early goal from Gabriel Medina, giving the away team a 0-1 lead. Josef Akpinar from Västerås IK received a yellow card in the 48th minute, which led to increased pressure from IK Franke. In the 60th minute, IK Franke opted to substitute Philip Lannebris for John Bäck in an attempt to turn the match around. Västerås IK also made a substitution in the 66th minute, bringing in Filip Damberg for Josef Akpinar, which would prove to be a smart move. However, IK Franke did not give up, and in the 68th minute, they managed to equalize with a goal from Sermed Habib, igniting the crowd's excitement. But the joy was short-lived as Västerås IK responded with a goal from Nicholas Braithwaite in the 70th minute, restoring the away team’s lead to 1-2. In the 74th minute, Filip Damberg scored his first goal for Västerås IK, extending the lead to 1-3. Despite IK Franke substituting Martin Gerdland for Eric Engström, and a flurry of substitutions from Västerås—Lucas Pennanen for Gabriel Medina and Anton Fors for Shyar Fatah—they could not threaten Västerås IK’s lead, and the match ended 1-3. IK Franke received two yellow cards, one for Adam Emanuelsson and one for Kresnik Bytyqi, in the final minutes of the match, but Västerås IK could thank Gabriel Medina, Nicholas Braithwaite, and Filip Damberg for their important goals during the game.
