Ölmstads IS hosted Tenhults IF at home for an important match in Division 4 Småland Norra. Both teams were in the lower half of the table and needed points to climb upward. The attendance was not the largest, with only 75 spectators present, but an exciting football match awaited.
Referee Glenn Bastholm blew the whistle to start the match at 1:00 PM on Saturday. Both teams began with high intensity, looking to take control of the game. After a balanced start, Ölmstads IS broke through in the 27th minute when Martin Källberg, wearing jersey number 7, skillfully placed the ball in the top corner, giving the home team the lead.
Tenhults IF tried to find their way back into the match and pressed high to regain possession. However, Ölmstads IS's defense held firm, keeping the visiting team away from their box. Instead, Ölmstads IS capitalized on a counterattack at the beginning of the second half when Noa Dahl made it 2-0 with a beautiful shot from outside the box.
After the second goal, Tenhults IF lost some of their confidence, allowing Ölmstads IS to play a calmer match. It wasn't entirely straightforward, as Tenhults IF continued to press high, but Ölmstads IS managed to hold off their opponents with the help of goalkeeper Olle Samuelsson and defenders Mattias Asserstam and Henrik Johansson, both of whom received yellow cards during the game.
The match ended 2-0 in favor of Ölmstads IS, who could thus celebrate a much-needed three points and advance a few places in the table. Tenhults IF will have to keep fighting and aim to secure points in their next match to avoid falling into the relegation zone.
