Hansjö 3 - 5 Bergakungen (388121439)

Dark skies made the crowd of 54400 at Hansjö Bygdegård Arena a little nervous, but the rain held off. Ruggiero Junghardt was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Cédric Granger and Harri Koivumäki. All of Dalarna was shut down for the day, as fans of both clubs came to the derby. Hansjö tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. The following players took the field: Bogdanović - Stoian, Meeusen, Erdal - Wadosmann, Abed-Sulaiman, Stibbe, Mlinarević, Bunić - Issa, Zinicola.

Bergakungen had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. They fielded: Dupuy - Claesson, Magyari, Gražulevičius - Cesqui, Jaschke, Karlbratt, Salomon, Valley - Vesada, Barata.

They were singing the praises of R. Zinicola 24 minutes into the match after his speculative chip from the middle of the penalty box found its way over the visitors' keeper to make the score 1 - 0 to Hansjö. Bergakungen managed, after 25 minutes, to even the score at 1 - 1 with a lucky free kick by R. Gražulevičius. Somehow the ball squirmed its way through the defensive wall! After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, A. Wadosmann got himself booked. The manager of Hansjö was not happy. After 28 minutes, Bergakungen's P. Claesson made his way through the middle and nonchalantly placed the ball out of the keeper's reach, putting the visitors up 1 - 2. After 29 minutes, an incisive pass through the middle gave P. Barata a chance to increase the lead for Bergakungen, and he did not disappoint. The score was then 1 - 3. Hansjö were awarded a penalty 31 minutes into the match and M. Mlinarević fired the ball into the net to make the score 2 - 3. 2 - 3 was the score after the first half. Hansjö enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 51 percent of possession.

After 55 minutes, a deliberate handball from Hansjö's A. Wadosmann was judged to be his second bookable offence, and he was sent off. With 57 minutes played, a quick exchange of passes on the left wing freed P. Salomon of Bergakungen to slip through the defence and score another goal for the visitors. That made the score 2 - 4. 59 minutes into the match, P. Barata came through the middle and almost added to his team's lead, but the shot went wide. A. Cesqui received a delicate pass through the home side's central defence after 73 minutes, and chipped it past the flailing keeper to score making it 2 - 5. The Bergakungen fans went wild, whilst the home fans started to think about leaving early. Bergakungen came close to extending their lead as Z. Magyari delivered a low effort on goal from the right after 79 minutes, but the angle was too narrow and the shot went harmlessly into the side netting. Hansjö reduced the lead to 3 - 5 with 81 minutes on the clock when M. Issa got the best of a ball floated in from the left. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Bergakungen, with 53 percent of the ball.

M. Mlinarević performed admirably for Hansjö. Ð. Bogdanović on the other hand, had a terrible day. Most important Bergakungen player was L. Vesada. However, P. Claesson made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 3 - 5.
