A
big game for the home side who prior to kick off sat 3rd
from bottom (in the relegation play off position). Jönköpings
sit
level on points with a +2 goal difference on them. There’s a sense
that this is must win for the home side.
Sundsvall
have a decent home record against today’s opponents, having not
lost to them in their last
6
meetings. They started the game as you’d expect, quick, pushing up,
creating chances. Wilson missed a chance he should have scored, but
the resulting corner was put in by Gracia, 1-0 to the home side,
easy, right? Hammarby were barely in the game until the last ten of
the first half, they were clinical though, Svendsen headed in a cross
to grab an equaliser
before the half was over.
It
only went downhill in the second half for
the home side.
Despite
coming out quickly again, they looked
vulnerable whenever they were made to defend. Svendsen took
a run at
the defence, wasn’t closed
down and managed to beat the keeper for his second
of the game. All you could hear from here on were the away fans and
with good reason. Paulsen legged
it up
the pitch and his gamble paid off as the ball fell to him and he
struck for 3-1. Sævarsson
fizzed
the ball across the box but it was intercepted by the
keeper before
it could reach Smárason.
Not
to worry for the midfielder though as Svendsen
put it on a plate for him in stoppage for him to give Hammarby a
flattering and well deserved 4-1 win away from home. Sundsvall
will now have to beat Göteborg
and
hope Jönköping
lose their
final game
to avoid the
play-offs.
