On Sunday afternoon, Sandarne SIF and Njutångers IF faced each other at Sandarne IP in Division 5 Hälsingland. In front of an audience of 64 people, the teams took to the field to fight for crucial points.
It was Njutångers IF that took early command of the match, and already after 20 minutes of play, Mattias Nordlund scored a headed goal that gave the team the lead. Sandarne SIF tried to respond to Njutångers' lead but instead picked up two yellow cards in quick succession, the first to Ilyas Farah and the second to Adan Ahmed Abdi.
Just before half-time, Njutångers extended their lead through Alexander Bergendal, which prompted Sandarne to increase their tempo. Abdulaziz Mahammed was able to head in a goal for Sandarne just four minutes into the second half. This marked the start of a wild ten-minute period where Mattias Nätt scored another header for the home team, making it 2-2 on the scoreboard.
The match continued with goal chances for both teams, but also with several yellow cards and expulsions. Sandarne suffered an expulsion when Omar Ahmed Abdi received a red card in the 76th minute. Njutångers also received a red card after Miller Semere Twelde picked up a second yellow just a minute later.
The match thus ended 2-2, leaving the audience satisfied as they went home after an exciting and intense game. Referee Adel Guirguis had quite a bit to manage with all the warnings and cards that were dealt out, but he kept a cool head and did a good job along with assistant referees Joel Johansson and Kjell Gustavsson.
