Thus, all the pressure suddenly became on Diggerforce.
Toivonen did not celebrate
And it was dramatic.
Hugo Larsson gave the MFF the lead in the 18th minute, but in the 37th minute Omar Farag equalized to make the score 1-1.
When Isaac Kiese Thelin made it 2-1 to the MFF in the 61st minute, it meant Degerfors was right then and there in the qualifying zone.

Degerfors runs
Minutes later came the goal Degerfors needed. Rasmus Orqvist stayed ahead and scored 2-2, which was also the end result.
Incredible comfort to see that ball go in. We’ve been able to turn this season around and secure the contract…so cool,” Orqvist says at Discovery.
This means that Degerfors secures the Allsvenskan contract, while Varberg is forced to qualify.
