Hammarby goes to summer vacation as a loser.
Värnamo shocked Stockholmers in front of a record audience.
Marcus Antonson became the hero with the goal of the sixth season.
On Thursday, Hammarby lost the cup final to Malmö on penalties. Perhaps that loss was with the Stockholm team in the last Svenskan match before the end of the first half.
As for Hammarby, he was absolutely indistinguishable against Varnamo as they opted to start with Nahir Besara and Darijan Bojanic off the bench and Denis Colander made his first start.
Hammarby seemed to lack a lot of creativity because it was difficult to get some hot chances and at the start of the second he shocked the home team Bagen.
Antonson Champion
Marcus Antonson passed after 49 minutes of play and put his sixth goal of the season in front of 5,010 spectators, a new crowd record for Finnvedsvallen.
– Really great victory today. Oscar Johansson tells Discovery Plus that it’s so much fun when they come close to the window and give us a great vibe.
After the goal, Hammarby still had a hard time starting the game and just over an hour later, coach Marty Cefuentes had had enough and made a three-change.
Immediately after the substitutions, Antonson had an excellent position to extend the lead when he was free again but got it wrong.
“It shouldn’t look like this.”
Hammarby chased the equalizer, but closer than Abdel Khalili’s goal directly to the goalkeeper in the end did not come and Pagen lost his second loss of the season.
– Careless that we offer too much. Varnamo is doing really well, says Gustav Ludwigson, and the goal they score is to see how we give up chances in the game, it shouldn’t look like this.
