It was a sunny Monday afternoon at Larslunda IP when IK Viljan Strängnäs faced FC Brandbergen in Division 3 Södra Svealand. In front of a crowd of 250, it was the guests from Brandbergen who started strongest, and just five minutes in, Oscar Griehsel Facey gave them the lead at 0-1.
Just ten minutes later, Adam Rodlert doubled FC Brandbergen's lead to 0-2, and IK Viljan Strängnäs had a lot of work to do. However, instead of collapsing, the home team rallied and created several dangerous chances.
It didn't take long before FC Brandbergen extended their lead again through Musa Dibba in the 23rd minute. But despite being behind, IK Viljan Strängnäs continued to press, and in the 29th minute, Mattias Alias reduced the score to 1-3.
Just after halftime, it was Alias again who scored and brought the score down to 2-3. The home crowd hoped for a true fighting effort from their team, but unfortunately, that was not to be expected. Instead, it was FC Brandbergen who extended their lead in the 75th minute with a penalty goal from Yassin Housni, followed by another goal from Kristupas Turkovas in the 80th minute.
The match was basically decided, but there was more drama to come. In the 72nd minute, IK Viljan Strängnäs goalkeeper Felix Eriksson was sent off, and subsequently, FC Brandbergen's Miralem Aslani was also sent off after receiving two yellow cards in stoppage time.
The match ultimately ended 2-5 in favor of FC Brandbergen, who had been the better team for large parts of the game. Referee Jesper Fredholm and his assistant referees Adham Ali Saleh and Ali Mohamadi had quite a bit to handle in this heated match.
