It was a rainy evening at Liljevallen when Värmskogs SK faced IF Örnen in Division 5 Värmland Västra. Despite the lack of spectators, the teams provided an intense match in which the guests ultimately managed to take the upper hand.
The match was even from the start, and both teams had chances to take the lead. However, it was IF Örnen who first managed to find the back of the net after 26 minutes of play. Marcus Johansson received the ball on the flank and finished coolly, leaving Värmskogs' defense out of position.
After the goal, the match continued at the same high pace, and Värmskogs SK desperately tried to equalize. But after Kristoffer Jonsson received a yellow card for a tough tackle, the mood in the team grew increasingly frustrated.
In the second half, Värmskogs' coach made three substitutions in hopes of turning the match around, but IF Örnen held firm and kept their defense tight.
With nine minutes left to play, Viktor Johansson managed to extend the guests' lead after a nice pass from André Bergman. Värmskogs tried to battle their way back into the match, but IF Örnen held out and secured a well-deserved 2-0 victory.
The match was well played by both teams, but it was IF Örnen that had that extra touch in the finishing moments. Värmskogs SK, on the other hand, can take away the positive aspect of having created several dangerous chances, and despite the loss, they performed well in a tough Värmland Västra.
