Everyone thought the transformation was complete.
John Gedetti then eliminated with a 2-1 score by pulling his shirt, causing the striker to lose his nerve completely. AIK never came close to a 2–2 tie and thus loses points in the first fight.
– Do you feel that you can make a match decision within 40 meters of you? You know you got it wrong, Bartosz Grzelak was heard shouting at the assistant referee in the players’ tunnel after the match.
Corona patient John Gidity On the bench Nicholas Stefanelli was completely left out of the squad before the match with symptoms of illness causing the black and yellow camp to worry when a strong Varnamo stood out on the other side.
It was also the away team that took advantage of Collins Seishinji’s lack of communication and experience after about half an hour.
Agden Zelikowicz took a good position on the left wing and sent a ground pass on a good surface. Sichenje was alone against two Värnamo players, with Marcus Antonsson the fastest. 1-0 for the away team and one AIK which looked corroded in parts after the first leg and penalty shootout in Skopje earlier this week.
Yacine Ayari wanted to go into the break feeling a little better – his midfield talent had plenty of space to finish the game from close range outside the penalty area and netted the equalizer.
John Gediti completely lost his temper
John Gedetti was substituted 35 minutes before play and managed to make it 2-1 in just two minutes – this was denied despite strong protests from Gedetti for his Netinho shirt. The striker was clearly frustrated with both the assistant referee and the referee, which lasted for several minutes.
Instead, Varnamo stood up to the post-attack and regained the lead, again this time through Marcos Antonson, who scored well 2-1 for Smålands FC.
AIK will return to the bar – Mikael Lustig tied with a header after a superb cross from Erik Ring with about ten minutes left. AIK didn’t even come close – and so they lost important points in the first fight when Djurgården and Malmö FF both won their matches.
After the final whistle, hot feelings prevailed in the players’ tunnel.
– Do you feel that you can make a match decision within 40 meters of you? You know you made a mistake, Bartosz Grzelak was heard shouting in the direction of the assistant referee.
– Don’t yell at me, the AIK coach responded.
