It was an exciting match between Karlskrona UF and Växjö United FC at Karlskrona IP 1 on Saturday afternoon. Växjö United FC, who lead the table, took control of the match from the start, and relatively early on, Hassan Lawrence scored the first goal for the visitors, making the crowd on site nervous. Växjö continued to press Karlskrona UF and had several dangerous chances going forward. They doubled their lead when Samson Akoh Abah scored his first of the day in the 32nd minute.

Karlskrona needed to get a grip on the match, and shortly after, the ball found its way behind the Växjö keeper after a nice combination, with Mahad Ahmed being the goal scorer. With just a one-goal difference at halftime, the home team had a chance to turn the match around if they could keep pressing.

They did just that in the second half, with an early goal after the break from Emil Alexandersson, which made the home fans explode with joy. Filip Varenhed then scored a volley in the 54th minute, and suddenly, Karlskrona UF took the lead.

But Växjö United FC continued to fight, and Paschal Onyekachi Durugbor netted in the 61st minute to equalize the match. At the same time, Växjö made their second substitution when Peter Enomanien Imah came on, and he could give Växjö the lead again after 69 minutes with his first goal.

Karlskrona continued to press on, and Varenhed scored his second of the day with just over 15 minutes left in the match to once again equalize. It was an intense match with chances on both sides, but it was Växjö who decided the outcome with Imah scoring his second of the day in the 79th minute. Karlskrona had several chances later in the match, but Växjö United FC held out and won 5-4 to the dismay of the crowd.
