On this Wednesday evening, Älvdalens IF FK and Malungs IF U faced off against each other at Älvdalens IP in a Division 7 Dalarna North match for men. The match had no spectators, but neither the home team nor the away team seemed to notice this, as both teams played with full intensity throughout the match.
It was Malungs IF U who opened the scoring when Filip Erik Rikard Östensson scored 1-0 for the away team in the sixth minute. However, Älvdalens IF FK did not let this put them off, quickly equalizing through Mohammed Mohammadi in the fifteenth minute.

It was, however, Malungs IF U that found the net next, as Östensson scored his third of the evening, giving the away team a 3-1 lead. Östensson not only demonstrated his goal-scoring ability but also his short temper when he received a warning in the thirty-fifth minute.

Älvdalens IF FK did not give up but continued to fight, successfully earning a penalty after a misplaced pass from the away team. David Paulsson converted the penalty, making it 4-4 for the home team in the sixty-ninth minute. Nevertheless, Malungs IF U refused to leave the pitch without a victory and scored their fifth goal through Siem Ykaalo in the seventy-third minute.
With only eight minutes left on the clock, it appeared that Malungs IF U would secure the win, but then Erik Lissmatz from Älvdalens IF FK scored his goal and equalized to 5-5. This was also the final score of the match, a game that showcased strong performances from both teams in Division 7 Dalarna North for men.
