It was a match that all Degerfors supporters will remember for a long time. The team crushed Västerås SK FK at home at Stora Valla and won with a convincing score of 4-1.
The match started with a high tempo from both teams, and there was a lot of physical play in midfield. However, it was Degerfors who would take the lead after thirty minutes of play. Niklas Klingberg confidently converted a penalty, giving Degerfors a 1-0 lead.
Västerås tried to respond immediately, but it was Degerfors who would score the next goal. Tobias Solberg received the ball from Marcus de Bruin and found the net, increasing the lead to 2-0.
In the second half, Degerfors was the stronger team, and this would be reflected on the scoreboard. Christopher Brandeborn came on as a substitute and was involved in two goals. First, he would put the ball in the net himself after a nice pass from Solberg. Then Brandeborn would assist Solberg again, this time to score the fourth goal of the match.
Västerås would get a consolation prize, as Markus Danielson converted a penalty kick, scoring Västerås's only goal of the day. But that would not suffice; Degerfors continued to dominate, and Marcus de Bruin capped off the match with a beautiful goal in injury time.
It was a dominant victory for Degerfors and a match where the team played fantastic football. Degerfors’s next match is away against Öster on June 10th, while Västerås will face Halmstad that same day at home at Solid Park Arena.
