IK Makkabi showcased their dominance at home on Sunday evening when they faced Apollon Solna FK at Östermalms IP 1. Just eight minutes into the match, Oliver Eisen scored the opening goal for the home team, and after that, there was no doubt about which team had control of the game. Apollon Solna FK tried to find weaknesses in Makkabi's defense but without success, and instead, Elie Narrowe and Sebastian Kraitsik netted two quick goals during the first half.
After the break, Makkabi did not rest on their laurels but continued to press offensively. Apollon Solna FK lost the ball in their own penalty area, and Makkabi's first-half scorer, Sebastian Kraitsik, took advantage with a long-range shot that found the back of the net. However, Solna wanted to demonstrate that they wouldn't give up without a fight, and Liam Kampanis managed to reduce the deficit with a penalty after a handball situation in Makkabi's penalty area.
The match was fiercely contested, and referee Samiolah Nori had to pull out his card a couple of times to keep track of the players' intensity. Konstantinos Fragkoulis and Gabriel Lindvall both received a warning.
Despite Solna's late resurgence, Makkabi's victory was never in doubt, and they could celebrate a well-deserved win. The home crowd at Östermalms IP 1, which numbered around 300, praised their team, who are off to a good start in Division 6 Stockholm C.
