Mjällby - Landskrona 1-1: the game of the wind

Despite the bad weather at Strandvallen, wind and rain, 2800 persons came to see the game. in this conditions, it was difficult to play normally. Mjällby scored in the first half, and Landskrona in the second. the team playing with the wind in the back had better control of the game.

the first occasion was for Landskrona at the 10th minute, a center from the right, taken directly by the attacker, but the ball finished 4 meters above the goal of dusan.

Then, between the 10th and 20th minute, it was a clear domination of Mjällby. 2 shots, from Ekenberg and Marcello Sarvas, and then 2 good possibilities to score: the first one following a corner, confusion in the 6 meters area, Cedeberg ready to shot, but a BoiS player tackled the ball. the second occasion was a nice combination between Persson and Sarvas, with Sarvas as the relay, but Persson shot above the goal.

Sarvas shot also a nice free kick from 20 meters, but the ball touched the post. He had also a good opportunity: after dribbling 2 defenders, the goalkeeper coming out, he shooted unfortunately above the goalkeeper (and the goal also...), but the goalkeeper finished in the foot of Sarvas, a penalty was demanded by Mjällby's player, especially Lindberg who received a yellow card, and because of 3rd card, will miss next game against Atvidaberg.
For me there is no penalty, even if the goalkeeper touched Sarvas, the ball was already away.

At the 38th minute, Mjällby scored thanks to a nice header from Lindberg. the ball passed between the arm of the goalkeeper, in the middle of the goal, the goalkeeper without any chance. the center came from a free kick on the right side by Cedeberg (if we look BoiS goal).

The second half was dominated by Landskrona, because they were one goal behind and also because they played with the wind in the back.

Landskrona scored at the 66th minute, by Carlsson. An one-on-one with no chance for Dusan.

The last 10 minutes bring a lot of intensity. First, following a corner from Cedeberg, confusion in the area, the ball was saved on the line of Landskrona's goal. Then after a center, the ball is taken by a Mjällby's player with the head, that is stopped with the hand by a Landskrona's player. It was clear penalty, but the referee decided in an other way. The ball arrived in the foot of a Landskrona' player (strange to find him alone in the middle ot the field), a second one-on-one but this time wonderfully stopped by Dusan. In 30 seconds, we went from a clear penalty for Mjällby to a big occasion for Landskrona.

Dusan who will be the player of the last 5 minutes. first, this one-one situation, then a free kick at 20 meters for Landskrona, hard shoot stopped by Dusan, and finally a vicious shoot at 10 meters, but Dusan used all his 1,97m body to push the ball in corner.

The referee was good, only the hand not blown in the penalty area was his only mistake. I don't want to imagine if Landskrona had scored just after on the one-one situation.

The 1-1 is ok for me, each team had occasions, so it is justified.

It would have been better with a win for Mjällby, because it was a good opportunity to win some places in the championship. Next game in on Thursday against Atvidaberg, it will be difficult too.
