The FOC Farsta fans rightly frustrated by the lack of decisions going their way, watched FC Stockholm take the lead in the first half of ET. Farsta fans ensured their frustration was heard by the officials, but it wasn't enough as FC Stockholm wrapped up victory.

An 80' Farsta goal sent the home fans into raptures. But excitement gradually grew into frustration as the referee somehow found what was to be 11 minutes of added time.
They were right to be anxious, FC Stockholm equalised in 100th minute, sending the game to ET.
A buzz worked it's way around the packed stand as the sun beamed down. Hammarby first teamers Erabi, Madjed & Boudah were spotted a few rows in front of me.
The fans watching children swarm around them providing much of the entertainment.

FC Stockholm looking the better team in the 2nd half. The FOC Farsta 11 impressed, blistering speed and made important challenges all over the pitch.
A lady next to me shared my fandom, screaming 'fy fan domare' everytime he was slightly touched.
Grabbed a coffee when I arrived and settled into place at Farsta IP. A man behind exclaimed 'otroligt kaffe' - jag håller med.
A quiet half, with FC Stockholm striking the crossbar at the 25' mark. That was my only note from the first half. Grateful for the pre-match coffee.

What looked to be a bore draw burst into life in the 80' minute with the home team taking the lead.

An entertaining game all in all. Unfortunately for IFK Stocksund, the skies opening in the 70th minute couldn't stop Karlbergs BK scoring 2 more to make it 5-0.
A busy evening with crowds filling the stands, leaving many to stand pitch side.

A strong overall performance from Karlbergs BK, with their number 8 (Noah Negash) scoring the 1st & 3rd goals. Offering forward play, precise give & go's and excellent close control.
His performance appreciated by the horses, returning to watch the number 8 after bolting.
The referee keeps his cards in his pocket as a young teenager is tripped by one of the pitch barriers.
Disgusted by the challenge, he turns around only to find the barrier sticking it's other leg out to be tripped again. Still no yellow as an old man falls victim at half-time.
#VAR
5 minutes after conceding the first goal low down to his right, the keeper rushes out to meet the ball, but heads it straight up - twice. Resulting in Karlberg slotting home their second.
A flare is sparked at the far end of the pitch, much to the concern of nearby horses.

A tough defeat for the home team who went down by 5 without reply, Karlbergs BK clinical and relentless.

As the 2nd goal is headed in at the back post, chaos ensues as the Brottby keeper joins his teammates to celebrate at the other end of the pitch.
In a game with 9 yellow cards and 1 red, it was no surprise to see him swiftly bundled over in protest by the away team.
#BrottbySK
The home team triumphed over a physical Uppsala.
Despite a 4-0 loss, an impressive performance from the Uppsala number 8 - the slimmest man on pitch. Yet anyone going in for a 50/50 found themselves steamrolled.
He was then sent off at 88'
A proper CB performance.

For tonight's match, I'll be making the journey 40km outside of Stockholm.
It starts 8 consecutive matches over the coming days, concluding with two games in Norway at the start of next week! 🇳🇴
Stay tuned for tonight's post-match of Brottby SK v IF VP Uppsala

"fool me once" and all that..
I hate being pessimistic, but I'm scared to celebrate until it's officially official(?). I bought myself a fancy beer that I've been saving for when Dai is no longer on control. Safe to say my trust and faith has taken a beating over the last few years!
