A tough afternoon for Sylvia, who hosted Umeå FC at Platinumcars Arena. It was the away team that started the match better, creating several dangerous chances in the first minutes, but it wasn't until the 29th minute that they managed to break the deadlock. Kerfala Cissoko finished off a nice attack, making it 0-1 which stood until halftime.
Sylvia tried to take control of the match after the break, but it was Umeå that stepped up and made it 0-2 after 42 minutes of play. Hug Bergström came forward and fired a powerful shot from the penalty area line that found its way past the goalkeeper. William Hofvander provided the crucial assist.
Eventually, Sylvia got a goal back with a fine header from Philip Bonde in the 63rd minute. Moutaz Neffati provided the assist, and suddenly it was a completely different game. Sylvia fought on, and the substitutions of Ali Kachmar and Daniel Hanna added life to the team, but Umeå managed to hold on and take three points home to the north.
The match featured several tough duels, as evidenced by the two yellow cards handed out to Ture Sandberg (Sylvia) and Severin Tatolna (Umeå). Umeå also brought on three substituties during the match, which proved successful as both Linus Marklund Panboon, Jonathan Lundbäck, and Filip Stankovic contributed to solidifying the team for the remainder of the match.
Umeå FC now takes home three important points from Platinumcars Arena and climbs to seventh place in the table. For IF Sylvia, however, things look tough as the team is at the bottom. The next match will be played in two weeks when IF Sylvia faces Sandvikens IF away, while Umeå FC will take on Vasalunds IF at home.
