Sirius had several great moments to equalize.
But Varnamo took three points away from home.
Sirius is going through a difficult period and suffered three consecutive losses before meeting Varnamo. But the host team amassed chances in the first half. Tshriq Matthews got the best after two minutes, but the finish went first to Pilip Vetsiakovic in the goal and then over the bar and out.
Although Sirius had it all in the first half of the hour, it was Varnamo who scored the first goal of the half. Abdeslam Majachi made it 1-0 after a corner kick and only five minutes later came the second goal.
Marcos Antonsons hit the ball from his own half into the penalty area and made it 2-0.
– really good. He (Mattessen) goes a little further and there’s a surface. You try to see what they’re doing, and that’s how I got the corners and I can get them, says Antonson in Discovery.

Sirius coach Daniel Backstrom believes a turnaround is taking place in the first half.
Varnamo does not deserve to be 2-0. We have a chance to build a story now. “We’re going to win this game 3-2 and then we’re going back to back in the post-season on Saturday night when we did something big, that’s what the talk was about at halftime,” he said at Discovery.
Joel Folkerling-Pearson also immediately sparked hope for Sirius when he hit a corner kick two minutes into the second half. But instead of leveling it, it was 3-1 after seven minutes. Agden Zelikowicz rotated outside the penalty area and shot in third.
Denis Widgren confirmed that Sirius was reduced again in the 70th minute and then the home team went for the equaliser. Antonio Yacoub, who was brought in from Gifli before the match, had a great opportunity when he was cleared from the penalty area in the 87th minute but his header went far.
Just a minute later, Jacob came close when he hit the crossbar.
Despite Sirius’ impressive position, the match ended 3-2 against Värnamo, who is now up the same points with Uppsala in the table.
