A high-scoring encounter at Ekebydalen IP Artificial Grass where Upsala IF Fotboll 2 faced SK Wigör 2 in a match that captivated the spectators in the stands. From the very first kick-off, the home team took the initiative, and just one minute in, they took the lead with a phenomenal strike from Axel Fogelfors Kärnebro that hit the crossbar and went in.
Wigör did not let an early goal deflate them and quickly responded with an equalizer, the ball finding its way past Upsala keeper Rasmus Denker. But the home team struck again, making it 2-1 after ten minutes through a fine individual effort by Lukas Blomberg.
The play balanced between the teams, and both had several chances in the first half. Wigör managed to equalize again in stoppage time through Rasmus Denker. The referee's decision to issue yellow cards was also part of the game: Abdiaziz Isse Nur (Upsala) and Adam Hellström and Gustav Ljungkvist (Wigör) each received a caution.
In the second half, Upsala showed they wanted the match, and Frank Loshak Snöbohm put Wigör down with a goal to make it 3-2 in the 62nd minute. Wigör fought bravely to get back into the game, but Upsala held strong and pressed hard forward. As a result, Arvid Johansson (Upsala), Lukas Blomberg (Upsala), and Oscar Ekfeldt Lundqvist (Wigör) were all sent off for receiving their second yellow cards.
Upsala goalkeeper Rasmus Denker was one of the match's heroes with several crucial saves, and Vidar Muhidin Hansson scored the fourth goal in the second minute of added time. The match seemed already decided, but Isac Waldevik added another goal for Upsala in stoppage time, securing a convincing 5-2 victory.
Despite a hard-fought match, it was a well-deserved win for Upsala IF Fotboll 2, who truly earned the three points. Referee Evangelos Malandrakis had little to do as the play was primarily fair. The 27 spectators left the arena happy after an exciting and entertaining football match.
