Arboga Södra IF secured a convincing home victory over Västerås AFG on Saturday afternoon at Ekbacken A. The match had a rather slow start, with few highlights in the first half. Some of the 137 fans began to look bored after 20 minutes, but it would prove to be a wise strategy to conserve energy for what was to come.
Half an hour into the match, Rodi Taher received a yellow card for a tough tackle, and shortly thereafter, Mohammad Reza Heidari was also cautioned. It felt as though frustration began to build in Västerås AFG’s style of play.
Arboga Södra IF forced a corner in the 44th minute after a slick move, and it was Rijad Babovic who headed the ball into the net behind the goalkeeper to the delight of the crowd. The 1-0 goal was a much-needed boost for the home team.
In the second half, Arboga Södra IF continued to play with a lot of energy, and after a nice pass from Filip Samuelsson, Edier Frejd put the home team impressively ahead 2-0 in the 72nd minute.
Västerås AFG desperately tried to get back into the game but instead received two yellow cards (Joseph Cicek and Mojtaba Khavari) and were not as ruthless as before.
Arboga Södra IF achieved a solid 2-0 victory, playing smart by increasing the tempo when Västerås AFG had already stopped playing as hard. This result boosts the confidence of Arboga Södra IF. Västerås AFG drops two places to 6th in the standings as a consequence of the loss.
