Ilanda IP was the venue for an important match in Division 4 Värmland on Friday evening, where Hertzöga BK faced Karlskoga SK in this clash between the top teams in the league table. Despite no spectators being present due to the ongoing pandemic, both teams delivered an intense and close match that was decided only in the very final minute.

It was Karlskoga SK that started strongest, with Benjamin Hunter scoring 0-1 for the visitors just eleven minutes in. Hertzöga tried to respond but struggled to create any really dangerous goal scoring opportunities. Instead, the coach made an initial change, bringing Cristian Rahmani Huerta on for Melker Josephson.

Karlskoga held firm and made another substitution when Eric Karlsson came on for Gustaf Ekman after thirty minutes. Hertzöga attempted to get back into the match, but instead Cristian Rahmani Huerta received a yellow card in the 57th minute. Karlskoga also received a warning, with Edvin Eriksson getting a yellow card in the 67th minute.

Hertzöga pushed for a late rally, making three substitutions after seventy-three minutes, when Linus Persson, Martin Vestman, and Maher Suliman Yousif were brought on. However, it wasn't until the 84th minute that Hertzöga was able to celebrate. The referee awarded a penalty to the home team, and Fredrik Ekstrand scored to make it 1-1.

Now it was Karlskoga's turn to chase a victory, and in the 89th minute, Ludwig Bergenhem stepped up to score the decisive goal, making it 1-2. The previous yellow card did not deter him, and he received a second yellow for his subsequent celebration. Ali Omar Mohamod also received a yellow card in the same situation. Hertzöga desperately attempted to equalize but instead saw Elias Adolfsson booked in the seventh minute of stoppage time.

Thus, the match ended 1-2 in favor of Karlskoga SK, who strengthened their position at the top of the league. Hertzöga BK must now regroup for their next match.
