Final game of the season, and a victory (FFF 0 - 3 MAIF)

The last game of the season was played yesterday by the MAIF players away in Falkenberg. Despite the lousy weather (it started to rain just when the game started), it was a quite pleasant game. A lot of Strubbarna had made the trip (see SuperMink's pictures), and were singing and cheering all the players (including those who have decided to give a new orientation to their career) for most of the game. On the pitch, the Falkenberg players were not in their best day, so MAIF could make the game as they wanted.

Less nice was the agressivity of the FFF players, a lot of ugly tackles and their specialty, the elbow in the back of the head on headers. Their captain was sent off after a very obvious and ugly one on Olsson which had to be changed for Berner.
Not that it was necessarily a bad thing, it took a whole 3 minutes for Berner on the pitch to score a goal (0-3). A nice goal built by our youth, Wille and Alex to bring up the ball and Berner to finish off. Very promising for the future.

Before that, Olsson had opened after a successful one-on-one duel against the FFF keeper. Good pass from Persson, terrible mistake from the FFF midfield and defense who are just watching and left an avenue in the middle and take a goal. This action was actually made by these only 2 players, Persson gets the ball at the central circle, brings it up a little bit, completely unchallenged, then pushes it in depth to Olsson who runs, captures it and finishes perfectly. Very nice action, like we have seen too many against us this season, good that we learn from our mistakes. Also very nice to see Olsson succeed in this situation, it has not been the case very often this year. 0-1.
Just before the break, as usual we take it easy, and there comes a terrible mistake from Simon who makes a pass to the opposite attacker. Luckily for us, Dusan was excellent, and the FFF strikers not so much so. Still 0-1 at the break.

Just after the break, Simon's out injured (or maybe it was his terrible mistake from some minutes before that cost him his place) replaced by Cederberg, and it's Eken's turn to score, after a pass from Sasa. I would like to tell you more about how this goal was made, but unfortunately, I was paying my korv at that very moment, only a few meters away. FFF has very good korv (sausage), especially the spicy ones (hint to the responsible of the korv at MAIF), but only 1 grill so we had to stand a long time in the queue, and so I missed this field action. Anyway, 0-2. And good korv.

From about the 60th minute, the FFF were not seeing the ball very much anymore, it was all MAIF.

The score stopped at 0-3, victory from Mjällby, equalizing what FFF gave us at home.

Overall, we finish at the 7th place of the league with 43 points. We are in the first half of the league. So it makes me wonder (maybe some players will want to send in answers/comments):
Why haven't we played all games like yesterday? The conditions were far from ideal, it was not our field, but we dominated them. Same thing some weeks back against Väsby, we suffocated them. What is different during those games, that was not there against, say, Örebro or Degerfors? Why did we not win 7 games in a raw in the middle of the season, when the conditions were much better.
Where would we be if all games had been like this final one?...
