It was a dramatic match at Stora Valla as Degerfors IF faced Syrianska FC in the Superettan. The home team started strong and took the lead just eight minutes in when Admir Catovic scored.

However, Degerfors quickly equalized again and went back in front with a penalty goal from Amor Layouni.

Layouni, however, ran into trouble, receiving two yellow cards within 10 minutes at the beginning of the second half, which led to his dismissal and Degerfors being reduced to ten men. Despite this, the team managed to extend their lead to 3-1 through Christoffer Wiktorsson in the 57th minute.

Syrianska did not give up and continued to fight. Bachir Katourgi was substituted in the 62nd minute and Filip Korkes in the 71st minute to make a difference for the away team. Alexander Michel Melki received a yellow card in the 68th minute. Syrianska kept pressing, and Yoann Arquin managed to reduce the deficit with an assist from Alexander Michel Melki in the 90th minute. Mete then scored a fantastic free kick in the fourth minute of added time, equalizing at 3-3 for Syrianska.

The crowd at Stora Valla could enjoy an exciting match that ended 3-3, with many goal-scoring opportunities and plenty of drama. Referee Antti Kanerva had his hands full keeping track of everything happening on the pitch, as the match was characterized by tough duels and several yellow cards.
