It was an exciting and high-scoring match played on Sunday afternoon between Eskilstuna Babylon IF and Jäders IF at Ekängens IP KG in Division 4 Södermanland, men's division. With an attendance of 201 people and referee Sahban Mouhi officiating, the teams kicked off with charged energy.
It didn't take long for the home team to put pressure on the visitors as Simon Al-Hakim, number 8, stepped up and, in the 14th minute, put the ball behind the Jäders goalkeeper for an early lead for Babylon. However, Jäders IF was not going to be defeated so easily, and in the 37th minute, Alexander Johansson, number 8, equalized for the guests. It would get even worse for Babylon when Magnus Käll, number 12, found the net twice—once just before halftime (42nd minute) and again at the start of the second half (55th minute), and suddenly the home team was trailing 1-3.
But despite the heavy deficit, Babylon did not let their spirits drop. In the 65th minute, Rami Oraha, number 10, reduced the score to 2-3, and just two minutes later, Enkido Bartuma, number 6, put the ball in the net to equalize for the home side. The match was now completely open, and both teams pushed forward to score decisive goals.
However, it was Jäders IF that pulled the long straw when a unfortunate own goal from Babylon in the 73rd minute gave Jäders the lead at 4-3. This was a knockout for the home team, and the coaches on the bench, Karle Slewa and Allan Ibrahim, were frustrated and worried about the outcome.
There wasn't much time for Babylon to make a comeback despite the three warnings issued during the match—two for Babylon and one for Jäders. Jäders IF managed to hold on until the final whistle and thereby secured three important points. Eskilstuna Babylon IF remains in 4th place in the league table, while Jäders continues to fight in 7th place.
