On Saturday afternoon, Västra Karups IF faced FK Besa in a match that was important for both teams, albeit for different reasons. The home team was situated in the middle of the table and had the chance to climb higher, while the guests from FK Besa desperately needed points to avoid relegation.
The match kicked off at Västra Karups IP A-plan, where the two teams faced off in front of a sparse crowd. However, the game would turn out to be a high-scoring affair despite the lack of public support.
Just four minutes into the match, referee Erenik Kaliqani issued a yellow card to FK Besa’s Ylber Bajrami.

In the early stages of the second half, Västra Karups IF's Niklas Lindström fouled an opponent and received a yellow card. But that did not deter Julius Paulsson from scoring his second goal of the match after 53 minutes. Paulsson received the ball at the edge of the penalty area and managed to find an opening, resulting in a convincing 2-0 lead for the home team.
But FK Besa would not give up easily, reducing the deficit to 2-1 after 57 minutes through Fatlum Istrefi. Istrefi continued to press on, but Västra Karups IF's defense held firm and prevented an equalizer. Instead, Julius Paulsson showcased why he was the hero of the match by scoring his third goal and Västra Karups IF's third goal of the match—a hat trick for Paulsson. With ten minutes left in the match, Kristoffer Cegrell managed to score his first goal for Västra Karups IF, sealing the deal with a final score of 4-1.
