It was an evening filled with high hopes for Örgryte IS as they faced Falkenberg FF at home at Gamla Ullevi. The audience was ready to cheer the team to victory, but on the pitch, Örgryte struggled to find their rhythm and Falkenberg FF took the lead from the first half.
In the 18th minute, Örgryte's Jonathan Azulay received a yellow card, a sign of what was to come. In the 45th minute, Falkenberg's Johan Svahn scored to put the away team ahead. Just seconds into the second half, David Leinar picked up another yellow card for Örgryte. Things didn't improve for the home team as Falkenberg's Stefan Rodevåg extended the lead to 2-0 just two minutes later.
Örgryte tried to put pressure on Falkenberg, but unfortunately, they were forced to substitute Oskar Wallén in the 61st minute due to an injury, bringing in Tobias Bratt instead. Falkenberg displayed solid defensive play coupled with good passing, while Örgryte's attacking attempts fizzled out. Falkenberg received only three yellow cards compared to Örgryte's four. The match quickly slipped away from Örgryte as the referee blew the final whistle, allowing Falkenberg to leap to fourth place in the standings. Örgryte, on the other hand, remains second to last in the table and needs to turn their form around quickly to avoid falling into the danger zone for relegation.
