Visited: 23. July 2019 Superettan (2. tier) Jönköpings Södra IF – Västerås SK 2-1 (1-0) Goals: 1-0 Edin Hamidovic (36), 2-0 Edin Hamidovic (50), 2-1 Douglas Karlberg (81) Att: 2.514
Report:
Second tier in Sweden from the old Stadsparksvallen stadium. The stadium is one of the classic ones, build in 1902 and today not really up to modern standards. But the stadium has a lot of charm and heart. the match I went to was played during the public holiday, so I was a bit curious to see how that would effect the number that turned up in the stands!
Hot weather, about 25-26 celsius made it tough for the players. But both teams really fought for it. The hosts went 1-0 up in the frrst-half. A second goal right after the interval, looked to have secured an easy three points. Västerås really struggled to create anything, but with about twenty minutes left, the match changed rythm. Västerås got a goal back and then pushed hard for another. But the hosts held on, and won a deserved victory at Stadsparksvallen
