Only a few minutes later, Norrby's Alen Krasnici received a warning. In the 61st minute, Östers made their first substitution, with Jonathan Drott coming on for Ammar Ahmed.

The match became more dramatic in the 70th minute when Abbas Mohamad received his second yellow card and was sent off. At the same time, Östers made two substitutions; Petar Petrovic came on for Mattias Pavic, and Marc Rochester Sörensen replaced Simon Alexandersson.

However, Norrby took the lead in the 77th minute when Rasmus Örqvist scored, assisted by Ezequiel Montagna. But Östers refused to give up, and just three minutes later, Carl Johansson equalized for the home team.

In the 84th minute, Östers made their final substitution when Alexander Henningsson replaced Johansson. This turned out to be a smart move when Petar Petrovic scored the final goal of the match in the 89th minute, allowing Östers to turn the match around.

Norrby desperately tried to come back, but there were no more goals. Östers won the match 2-1 and advanced to fourth place in the table, while Norrby remains in 11th place.
