There was a lot of confusion in the dramatic Småland derby.
Punishment and expulsion became penalties – before Jönköping Sudra turned the match against Oster.
– We’re back after their first goal that came from a crazy situation, says coach Oscar Garcia Rodriguez at Discovery Plus.
Oster is chasing an allsvenskan and Jönköping Södra is chasing a new decade in the Premier League.
The two teams met in a heated derby on Tuesday night and the goals began to fall in the second half.
Confusion before punishment
Ten minutes into the first half, Adam Ben Lamin of J-Södra parried Adam Bergmark Wijberg’s shot into the penalty area – and according to referee Magnus Lindgren, he made it with his arm.
– That doesn’t touch his hand, is it? I think it hits the ribs, says expert Norden Gerzic at Discovery Plus.
The referee objected and showed a second yellow card to Adam Ben Lamine. But shortly after the red card was shown, Magnus Lindgren signed to cancel the expulsion. Adam Ben Lamine has never had a yellow card before.
Adam Bergmark Wiberg then scored the penalty, but Jönköping Södra turned the match around.
Goalkeeper Viktor Stolic was booked with an own goal from a corner kick and in the 74th minute came the winning goal for the home team.
Leaving the playoffs place
The ball landed in front of Niklas Dallstrom and he managed to score the winning goal and celebrate with the home team behind the short side.
Jönköping Södra won 2-1.
For us, this is a very, very important victory. We improved our game but we weren’t so lucky. “Today we’re up against a very good team and we’re playing half of the time most of the time,” coach Oscar Garcia Rodriguez says at Discovery Plus.
– We came back after their first goal which came in a crazy situation. It’s a very important win for us, it’s fantastic.
Jönköping Sodra now leaves the negative qualifying point and advances to 12th in the table. Oster remained fourth, with the same points as Brage in the Allsvenskan qualifying position.
