IFK Norrköping against Falkenbergs FF where both teams needed to win. Beijing for the European opportunity and Falkenberg for his survival in the Allsvenskan, and it was the guests who would break the deadlock first.
That’s when Falkenberg’s John Chibuike crashed on the first goal already in the second minute of the game from close range, but 20 minutes later it was tied. Norrköping’s Sead Haksabanovic was brought down in the box and the referee pointed to the penalty spot. Forward Christoffer Nyman rolled on the ball and was recognized at Östgötaporten.
Just ten minutes later, Beijing received another penalty after striker Nyman was held in the penalty area. The 28-year-old took care of the punishment himself and placed him safely on the left. But now Beijing would not receive more punishment? Yes, just a few minutes later, Haksabanovic was brought down again and Nyman took his third penalty of the night. 3-1 for the home team.
Despite the handicap, Falkenberg created several good chances, but it was 18-year-old Ishaq Abdulrazak who made it 4-1, a goal that also gave the final result.
With Norrköping’s victory, the club is still in control of the European places and ranks fifth with two points to third place. Falkenberg remains penultimate in the table.
– I think Falkenberg does well at first. So we are a bit lucky that we don’t go 2-0. Since the punishments, I don’t have much to say, I haven’t seen them. In the second half we do very well, says Alexander Fransson from Beijing to Dplay.
IFK Norrköping will face Hammarby at the same time that Falkenberg has to recharge his batteries for the meeting with bottom row Helsingborgs IF.
