On Saturday afternoon, Haparanda FF faced Ohtana/Pajala FF at Gränsvallen in a match in Division 4 Norrbotten Norra, men. Despite the absence of spectators, the atmosphere on the field was high, and the trio of referees consisting of Keijo Hyvärinen, Robert Isaksson, and Ashkan Motlagh maintained a strict line.
The match began at a steady pace, with both teams trying to find a gap in the opponents' defense. However, it was Haparanda who first succeeded in scoring when Pedram Moradabbasi Fouladi found the net in the 53rd minute, giving the home team the lead.
But Ohtana/Pajala quickly responded. Just two minutes later, Daniel Mäki equalized after a nice pass from his teammate. The match continued at a high tempo, with many hard duels and tough tackles. The referee was forced to issue several warnings to both teams for unfair play.
However, this would prove to be disastrous for Haparanda when Atte Huhtala received his second yellow card in the 85th minute and was forced to leave the field. After that, the home team lost their momentum, and Ohtana/Pajala could push for a leading goal. But despite several dangerous chances in stoppage time, neither team was able to score again, and the match ended 1-1.
Despite the draw, both teams can feel satisfied with their performance. Haparanda will continue to fight to climb up the table, while Ohtana/Pajala can keep building on their momentum.
