Malmo. Niklas Mosander scored for an unusual reason.
Then he ran in the wrong direction.
– I regret it, says the Finn after MFF’s 3-1 victory over Sivasspor in their first Europa League playoff.
Niklas Mosander is not used to scoring goals.
When he scored 3-1 into the empty net in the second half against Sivasspor in the Europa League playoff after throwing the ball in front of him after a corner kick, it was only the Finn’s second goal in the. Malmo FF.
The first came in March in the Swedish Cup quarter-final against AIK in a similar fashion.
“Running like a little kid”
It can be seen that Moisander is the top scorer because his celebration was far from directing as it is.
– I didn’t know what to do. I ran like a little boy. It was pure joy. It’s football, Moisander says with a laugh.
Teammate Mustafa Zidane, who scored his third goal in seven internationals when he made it 1-0 at the start of the match, believes Moisander has little to learn when it comes to goal celebrations.
– We have to take a lesson tomorrow, midfielder Tans.
4-1 would be almost perfect.
But Moisander regrets one thing about the goal celebration.
– I should have taken the opportunity to celebrate with the fans when I now had to score in front of the heel for the first time. But then I ran the other way! towards the plan. I am sorry about that. He said the fans were great tonight again.
Now the remote target rule no longer exists, which is lucky for MFF in this case.
But would it have made so much of a difference having 4-1 with you come back instead on Thursday?
– 4-1 would be almost perfect. But we have to be happy with the 3-1 result.
