Lindsdals IF hosted Högsby IK at Fjölebro IP on Sunday afternoon in a match that would conclude the season. Before the match, there was a six-point gap between the teams, with Högsby IK in third place and Lindsdals IF in ninth.
The match began with Högsby IK as the clear favorite, as they put pressure on Lindsdals IF, but it was Lindsdals IF that would get the first dangerous goal-scoring chance. After just four minutes of play, Högsby IK received a warning due to an unfair situation involving Lucas Pettersson.
After a balanced start to the match, Lindsdals took control and had an excellent opportunity when Robin Sjöö shot in the opening goal, making it 1-0 in the 16th minute. Högsby IK tried to level the playing field again and won several free kicks throughout the match, but they failed to create any really good goal-scoring chances before halftime.
The second half turned out to be a completely different story. Högsby IK began to push harder and troubled Lindsdals IF several times. After 68 minutes, Högsby IK finally got a reward when William Stjernberg scored to make it 2-1. Lindsdals IF became nervous and started making several mistakes, which led to multiple warnings and eventually a red card for Benjamin Bengtsson in the 87th minute after his second warning. Despite several dangerous goal-scoring opportunities from Högsby IK, they were unable to find the back of the net, and the match ended 2-1 in favor of Lindsdals IF.
With this result, Lindsdals IF finishes in eighth place in the standings while Högsby IK remains in third place. It was a well-played match from both teams, but Lindsdals IF managed to hold on and secure the victory in front of their home crowd at Fjölebro IP.
