On Sunday, Assyriska FF played an important match at home against GAIS at the Södertälje Football Arena. In front of 2,736 spectators, Assyriska started aggressively, and it didn't take long before they managed to break the deadlock. In the 14th minute, Amin Nazari struck and made it 1-0 after a fine pass from Christer Youssef.
GAIS tried to respond, but Assyriska's defense was tough to break through, and they struggled to create any truly dangerous chances. Instead, Assyriska managed to increase their lead after an hour of play. Youssef was once again involved when he made it 2-0, and GAIS seemed to have little chance of coming back into the match.
However, in the 65th minute, GAIS substituted in Hampus Andersson, and this appeared to have an effect. Just five minutes later, Björn Andersson reduced the score to 2-1 after a pass from Kenneth Gustafsson. GAIS suddenly had new energy and created several dangerous goal-scoring opportunities.
Assyriska substituted players and tried to stifle GAIS's offensive, but it was a tense finish to the match. GAIS brought on both Linus Tornblad and Adam Eriksson in search of an equalizer, but Assyriska defended hard and managed to hold them off.
The match ended 2-1 in favor of Assyriska, a very important victory in the fight to avoid relegation. It was a tough match where both teams had their chances, but in the end, it was Assyriska who came out on top.
