An exciting match took place at Lagavallen in Ljungby when the home team Ljungby IF faced Ronneby BK in a Division 3 match for women. With only 93 spectators present and referee Mohamad Khaled Kharbo on the field, the match kicked off at 5:00 PM on Sunday afternoon.
Ljungby started strong and it didn't take long before they took the lead. In the 20th minute, Stina Petersson scored a goal following good teamwork between her and her teammates, which caused the audience at Lagavallen to cheer.
However, Ronneby BK did not let themselves be knocked down by the home team's opening goal and continued to fight. They had a chance to equalize in the 44th minute when Karin Göransson Karlsson from Ronneby BK received a warning, but it wasn't until just after halftime that they managed to find the back of the net. Julia Palmqvist had fresh legs and scored two consecutive goals at the start of the second half, making it 1-2 in favor of the visitors.
Nonetheless, Ljungby IF also refused to be discouraged and fought back. Just one minute after Ronneby's second goal in the match, Blearta Limani equalized to make it 2-2. From there, the match was incredibly even. After Ljungby scored their second goal, however, the team received a series of warnings, as they accumulated three cautions in less than half an hour.
The match ended in a draw, 2-2, which was a fair result for both teams. Ljungby had a strong first half, while Ronneby BK played better in the second half. It was a match with a sparse attendance and little celebration in the stands, but it didn't matter to the 22 players on the field who fought valiantly.
