Gothenburg / Stockholm. 20-year-old Nathaniel Adjee became a major scapegoat on his Allsvenskan debut with Hammarby.
He scored an own goal in the 90th minute – after which he broke down in tears and left his teammates.
“At the moment, I feel heavy and I want to take the opportunity to apologize to our fans, but I have to keep my head high,” he told Sportbladet.
For a long time, Hammarby had been looking to grab all three points in the summit meeting with Haken after an early goal from Gustav Ludwigson broke a goal in seven games.
In the tenth minute, Ludwigson went forward and headed the score 1-0 Bagen.
– I’ll summarize what that means for the team later, but for me it was nice, he said at Discovery in the first half.
But it was only enough for one point.
Farewell scapegoat – in tears
In the 90th minute, the nightmare was in front of Hammarby and central defender 20-year-old Nathaniel Adje, who scored an own goal on his debut for the Allsvenskan side.
After the final whistle, he collapsed in tears in the center of the circle and was comforted by his teammates.
Nathaniel did a great job today. I feel bad for him for his own goal, but sometimes it’s football, sometimes it’s unfair. It was tough today, mistakes happen to all of us, says Bagen coach Marty Cifuentes.
Psara burned giant mode
In extra time, Naher Basara had a great opportunity to make the score 2-1 Bagen, but he stumbled at the end and hit the ball into the goal.
– He should score there, says expert Norden Gerzic at Discovery.
But the match ended 1-1.
