Ängelholm's IP was the venue for an exciting match between Ängelholms FF and Åtvidabergs FF in the Superettan on Monday evening. In front of an audience of 1,524 people and under the officiating of referee Lars Olsson and his assistants Magnus Vallerius and Matija Rafaj, both teams were eager for revenge after losses in the previous round.
The match started with fast-paced play from both teams, and it didn't take long before the home team took the lead after 20 minutes. Jonas Lindh scored a goal after a nice assist from Sebastian Andersson, giving Ängelholms FF a 1-0 lead. Åtvidabergs FF pressed forward, creating several dangerous scoring opportunities, but the home team's defense held its ground until halftime.
The second half continued with high tempo, and Åtvidabergs FF created several chances to equalize. Jakob Augustsson received a yellow card for the home team after a harsh tackle on an Åtvidaberg player. Ängelholms FF substituted Jonas Lindh after 71 minutes, replacing him with Jörgen Nilsson. Åtvidabergs FF substituted Steinar Ryen Strømnes for Viktor Prodell, which did not lead to any increased offensive effectiveness. Instead, tension mounted when Haris Radetinac received a yellow card after 78 minutes. Robin Nilsson from the home team also received a yellow card just two minutes later, but that did not stop Ängelholms FF from scoring their second goal. Sebastian Andersson found the net again after a great assist from Björn Westerblad. The second goal seemed to knock the wind out of Åtvidabergs FF, who could no longer threaten the home team. When Prince Eboagwu Etuwe received a yellow card for Åtvidabergs FF after 85 minutes, it became even harder to challenge the Ängelholms FF defense. The match ended with a definitive 2-0 lead for the home team Ängelholms FF.
