Match report:
Eskilsminne IF hosted FC Trollhättan at Harlyckans IP 1 in a match that turned out to be very even. In front of a crowd of 328 on Saturday afternoon, it was the home team that started the match the strongest. After just over a quarter of an hour, a yellow card was given to Emilio Reljanovic of FC Trollhättan. Just a few minutes later, Eskilsminne IF took the lead through André Reinholdsson, who skillfully put the ball into the net.
Seven minutes later, the same Reinholdsson doubled the lead with a header, assisted by Oliver Åkerman. It looked like the home team was headed for a victory, but FC Trollhättan had other plans. Just five minutes into the second half, Argjend Malaj reduced the deficit for the away team.
Only three minutes later, the next goal came as Alibek Aliev equalized for FC Trollhättan. The momentum had now completely shifted, and Eskilsminne IF found it difficult to create any dangerous chances on their own. Two players also received yellow cards, which would have dire consequences for Eskilsminne IF.
In the 68th minute, Lucas Larsen received his second yellow card and was sent off. Now, the home team would have to play the rest of the match with one less player. The coach chose to make a substitution, bringing in Yonathan Getachew to show what he could do instead of Oliver Åkerman.
In the 76th minute, Johan Albin received a yellow card, which would lead to a nerve-wracking conclusion to the match. Eskilsminne IF had chances to decide the match, but the away team held their ground. The home team made two additional substitutions in the final minutes of the match in an attempt to turn the game around, but none of the attempts yielded any results.
The match ended 2-2, and it was the away team that would feel satisfied after coming back from behind to draw. Eskilsminne IF needs to show better strength in the future if they want to continue climbing the table. The referee for the match was Fikret Buqa, with Per Uppsäll and Göran Fredriksen as assistant referees.
