Mjällby - Sundsvall 4-2: Eken-, Eken-, Ekenberg.

What a dramatic game for the 2126 persons present at Strandvallen today.
If there is one minute of the game that was not to be missed, then it was the 40th minute. Dahlberg, striker of Sundsvall, was sent off by the referee for a fault on Lindberg, elbow given in the face when Lindberg came back after a corner.
5 long minutes of discussion and anger by both teams. The referee and his assistents apparently didn't see the aggression, but it was the fourth referee that gave the information, which provocated the anger of all Sundsvall team and staff.
Sundsvall, there is not so much to discuss about, the fourth referee is part of the game, and the rules are the same for everybody, ask Zidane about it!!!

4 minutes later came the second event of the game, a penalty given to Mjällby after a fault on Olsson. Here also, nothing to discuss, Olsson was clearly pushed. it provocated the second anger of Sundsvall player. Ekenberg scored for the first time of the game (1-1).

We don't have to forget to say that Sundsvall scored at 15th minute by Hermansson, after some confusion in the 6 yard area. (0-1)

When the second half started, you had better to be on your seat, because Simon Sjöfors scrored a wonderful goal, a shot from 30 meters. the goalkeeper had probably the sun in the face, but the shot was incredible. Well done Simon!!! (2-1)

Two minutes later, second goal of Ekenberg, after dribbling 2 Sundsvall players, a wonderfull lob where the goalkeeper had no chance (3-1). We could think that Mjällby would manage the game, but with maybe to much self-confidence, and a Sundsvall team that continued to push even with 10 players only, the second half-time was difficult.

and happened what must come, penalty at 78th minutef or Sundsvall, scored by Bayat. (3-2). Even here, the fault was evident.

Mjällby had good opportunities to kill the game, they were quite often on counter attack, with 3 against 3 players, but they didn't manage it so good. It is on one of this counter attack that Mjällby scored the 4th goal by...Ekenberg. Center from Johan Svensson on the left side, Olsson and Ekenberg in the center, but it was Ekenberg that received the ball and scored. (4-2)

An important victory by Mjällby that insures probably the place for next season in the Superettan. Well done Guys!!!

To notice that the players of Sundsvall were still angry after the game, and the security had to intervene. They are bad losers. the fourth referee is here to make sure that the rules are respected, and on the penalty there is nothing to say. Very dissapointing for a team coming from allsvenskan, but when you have a so "good" position in the championship, then you always have to find some excuses, and today was the referee. A special mention to the player of Sundsvall that was sent off, Dalhberg, that cried like a little girl who had lost her puppet. Away with this kind of players, they have nothing to do on a field!

Very good management of Thomas and Hasse, that did very good substitutions. Persson by Malmström: he received a warning in the 2nd minute, and was under a second one. Hue by Jonasson, the jamaican player didn't do so much before his replacement: bad passes and choices, no running. it was time to replace him.

Next game at home in 2 weeks against Degerfors, that will have probably to fight to get maintained in Superettan. So it will be an interesting game.

DON'T MISS THE PICTURES OF THE GAME TOMORROW ON OUR BLOG. You will see all important events of the game: Dahlberg the "crying" player, the confusions after the red card, Eken the 3 times scorer, the joy of Mjällby's player...life is so beautiful.
