The summit meeting in the Premier League ended with the victory of the host team.
Halmstad defeated Oster 2-0 after a goal scored by the tournament’s top scorer, Alexander Johansson.
– We started very tired in the first 30-35 minutes of the match, said Oster coach, Srdjan Tović, to Discovery Plus at the end of the first half.
Halmstad lost to Nurby in their last Premier League game.
But in today’s game, they seriously wore out.
On Saturday evening, they scored a big win when they beat Oster at Organs Fall.
“It starts very nervous”
The scoring began in the 28th minute when Thomas Bouake assisted midfielder Joel Alanson who pounded the ball to make it 1-0.
– We start with a lot of pressure in the first 30-35 minutes of the match and the goal comes from our mistakes. We have to keep believing in that because from a footballing point of view we can still hurt them,” Eastern Serbia coach Serdjan Tovic told Discovery Plus at the end of the first half.
After that, the match seemed heavy back and forth, but in the 71st minute, Alexander Johansson came out for free and made the final score 2-0.
It was just a matter of checking where the goalkeeper was and hitting the far post because there is the best chance of a goal being scored there, said Halmstad top scorer Alexander Johansson after the win.
Halmstad storms against Allsvenskan
Halmstad’s win means he takes over the league leadership from Promabojkarna, who won their match earlier in the day against Jönköping. HBK is now one point ahead of BP in second place and 11 points behind qualifier Brage, who has played one game less.
We get a little nervous and not comfortable enough to deal with it. Then we get up after 1-0 and finish the half well. Then we start in the second half and then counterattack, says Austers central defender Mans Berg.
We play with them in the match because of the mistakes we made in the first half.
