On Friday evening, this year's final match in Division 6 Stockholm C took place at Stadshagens IP 1, where AC Azzurri faced IK Makkabi. The attendance was a disappointing 21 spectators, but that did not prevent the teams from giving it their all on the field.
The first half was fairly even, but it was IK Makkabi that posed the most threat with their quick attacking play. In the 19th minute, Filip Lindmark from IK Makkabi received a warning from the referee, Tomasz Konopka. Both teams continued to fight for a goal, but it wasn't until the 57th minute that anyone managed to score. IK Makkabi did it, through number 10, Oliver Eisen. He received a long pass and finished with a powerful shot that hit the net, giving IK Makkabi the lead at 0-1.
After that, AC Azzurri tried to push forward and equalize, but they could not break through IK Makkabi's defense. Instead, several of their own players received warnings from the referee for aggressive play. In the 92nd minute, goalkeeper Luca Reggiani was sent off for going too far out of his goal area.
The match therefore ended with a victory for IK Makkabi, who finished in 2nd place in the table. AC Azzurri ended up in 5th place, with a few fewer wins than IK Makkabi. It was an exciting match to watch, but unfortunately, not enough people saw it. Hopefully, next year's season will attract more spectators and give these teams a chance to showcase their talent.
