Kalmar defended his position in qualifying and Häcken qualified for Europe. The 0-0 was a result both teams were happy with at Guldfågeln Arena during the last round of the Allsvenskan.
In the final minutes, therefore, both teams opted to play only the match. Falkenberg had missed the chance and IFK Norrköping were behind, so neither team saw any reason to seek a winning goal. In the final minutes, the ball was played back and forth at Häcken’s baseline.
– You can never make a pact, but you can say what you want in any case. I thought his forward worked too hard and then I said we probably won’t advance unless you push. Playing with the result is also a skill, says Häcken’s coach Andreas Alm at the subsequent press conference.
Kalmar’s Erik Israelsson didn’t understand at first that both teams were “safe”.
– The whole situation becomes quite parodic since there are two minutes left and nobody has to do anything. At first I didn’t really understand what was going on, but then it appeared on the big screen that Norrköping was down and Falkenberg was down. Then it got a bit strange, of course, at the same time I think it was nerve throughout the game, until the 91st minute when the ball round started, he tells Fotbollskanalen.
Häckens Rasmus Lindgren:
– I was going to stand on the ball, but it looked a little good maybe …
– That’s right, everyone knows that it can be like that in a game like this. There was nothing strange about it, I have been in some similar situations before.
In general, no claim was really offered at the Guldfågeln stadium.
– It was fortunate that we trained a little soccer tennis this week, today we benefit. It was a pretty good boxing match, says assistant coach Stefan Larsson.
Andreas Alm:
– It was full volley and half volley and a bit of nerves on both teams.
