Beijing’s talented Isak Bergmann Johannesson is warned in the game against Djurgården.

IFK Norrköping beat Djurgården away and climbed to second place on the table.

The team then criticized the refereeing body.

– I’ve been pretty quiet now, says coach Jens Gustafsson.

IFK Norrköping took the lead against Djurgården in the fifth minute when Linus Wahlqvist cut to make it 1-0. Christoffer Nyman then rose to 2-0 in the second half.

Djurgården reduced late in the match, but Norrköping took three new points and appears to have come out of the long slump the team has been in.

After the game, Jens Gustafsson gave an explanation for the difficult moment.

– It is also important to address the type of evaluations that we receive against us and that we also receive today. I think we are still in a situation where the level of valuation has been decisive for us. Today it did not happen, but it continues to bother, says the technician.

“You are very tired”

Gustafsson reacted, among other things, to the fact that the team’s 3-0 was ruled out for offside over Christoffer Nyman, who was in the penalty area.

– Today I think they would approve a 3-0 goal and I cannot for the life of me understand the warning Isak Bergmann Johannesson receives that makes him suspended for the next game. Things are happening that I have a hard time understanding and I have been silent long enough.

The Norrköping players agree with their coach.

– It’s just a matter of checking all the goals we have conceded. In 50 percent of the cases, the judge is involved in some way. Of course you are tired of that. Today we would have had 3-0 and then the game would have been completely dead. So there have been some goals … The referee has not been with us, says Linus Wahlqvist and continues:

– You get tired of it. It’s okay if it happens at some point in the season, but when it comes to every game, you get sick of it. But what to do … they are human too.

“I don’t want to throw shit”

Simon Thern is going the same way.

– I don’t like going to the judges. They do the best they can. But it is clear that it is terribly exhausting when you have a lot to bounce. Both in terms of performance itself but it also punishes us if not hands, goals that are judged without knowing why. Not even the opponents! I don’t want to throw a shit at the judges but we have had many decisive verdicts against us.

Norrköping climbs to second place in the table after the victory, eight points behind Malmö FF.
