Margretelunds IP 2 was the venue on Sunday evening for an exciting match between Österåker United BK and Huvudsta Dragonz IF. In front of a crowd of 35, the home team welcomed the visitors from Huvudsta. Referee Lars Reuterhagen had a fully satisfactory evening at work and maintained good control of the game.
The guests from Huvudsta Dragonz IF started the match strongly, and just 15 minutes into the game, Henrik Mikael Ala-Prinkkilä put the away team ahead 1-0. The home team fought hard but struggled to create any real attacking plays. Instead, it was Huvudsta that extended their lead to 2-0 after 19 minutes, when Oktay Saygin struck a brilliant goal.
However, in the second half, a completely different Österåker came onto the field. Just seven minutes into the half, Oskar Haag scored the home team's first goal of the evening, which infused new energy into the team. Shortly thereafter, after 16 minutes, it was time again—this time Samuel Karlsson found the net and equalized the match at 2-2.
Following Österåker's two quick goals, both teams tried to score again, but no more goals were forthcoming. Instead, we saw two yellow cards issued, one to Orhan Kuliev of Huvudsta Dragonz IF and one to Kim Tihi. The match ended 2-2, and both teams will head home with one point each. It was a strong effort by Österåker in the second half, but given how the beginning of the match unfolded, the team should be satisfied with a point.
