– We said we were going to go out and show that we are a strong team, coach Andreas Jorgsson told MFF Play.
Malmo FF They got a dream position to reach the group stage of the European League. On Thursday evening, Turkey’s Sevaspor was defeated at home 2-1.
There was no shortage of highlights in the first half. The main goal of MFF came after a fictional artistic number from Mustafa Zeidan.
Veliko Permanšević played the ball from the left flank and Zidane received the ball before firing in a remarkable 1-0 at the far post.
However, the joy was short-lived, as Sivasspor equalized after only ten minutes.
After a cross from the left, Leke James was able to stand completely freely in the penalty area and head 1-1.
MFF’s response came in the 37th minute.
The home team received a free kick on the edge of the penalty area, and the team captain Anders Christiansen pressed. The ball went straight to the goal and the MFF could take the lead again in the match.
The new acquisition appeared for the first time
The second half was a bit less eventful, but MFF still got some extra earnings. After a corner kick in the 68th minute, central defender Niklas Mosander managed to score 3-1.
Shortly thereafter, new acquisition Emmanuel Lomouti had to present himself, when he jumped into MFF for the first time.
– Today, not everything went well, and this is normal. But we will push and support him, so it will be a huge asset, coach Andreas Jorgson tells MFF Play.
There were no more goals and the MFF now has a 3-1 lead ahead of the play-off in Turkey in a week’s time. The winner of the double title will play in the group stage of the European League, while the loser will go to the Conference League.
– I think the performance is good. We said we would go out and show that we are a strong team. We would dare and cover each other when things went wrong, which is exactly what we do, says Georgeson.
