It was an afternoon of excitement and drama at Södertälje Football Arena when Nordic United FC hosted Umeå FC in a Ettan Norra men's match. Despite a match that was friendly in spirit, both teams were determined to give their all and win on the field.

Early in the match, Nordic United FC received a warning when Anas Al Asbahi made contact with an opponent.

After a tight first half, Nordic United FC regained the lead immediately after the break when Charbel Ceylan scored his second goal of the day. But Umeå FC was not satisfied and continued to battle for the equalizer. It was then that Amaro Bahtijar was substituted in, and he represented the team well, scoring the 2-2 goal in the 81st minute.

The match took an unfortunate turn for Nordic United FC when Nsima Peter received a second yellow card and was sent off. With only ten players on the field, it was difficult to withstand the ongoing pressure from Umeå FC. Adam Sandström scored the decisive goal in the 92nd minute, leading Umeå FC to a 3-2 victory.
