We started quite brightly, our offensive play looked strong. Atiku showed his intelligence on the pitch time and time again but sadly our forwards missed nearly every ball he fed them. Never the less, Bärlin managed to time his run after 17 minutes, Atiku passed him perfectly ending up with a one-on-one for Bärlin. No mistake and 1-0 to us.
That happy feeling soon died out, Gefle equalised in the 27th minute after sloppy defending from our side. 1-1 and no more goals in the first half.
Second half quite similar to the first, we played rather well offensive wise, rater bad defending. We regained the lead after 67 minutes, again an attack that started with a smart pass from Atiku followed up by good finish from our other forward, Tomas Andersson.
With 15 minutes to go, our manager decided to go for the safe option as he subbed Tomas Andersson for a defender. That plan backfired, Gefle took total control of the game, pushing us back tou our own penalty area. Gefle then got a penalty, hard to tell from where I was standing it was a fair claim. They duly scored and with time running out, just six minutes to go, there was no way that we would be able to turn this around again.
Braz played the last 30 minutes, he started on the bench. Severe jetlag is my guess, but who knows? Too much champagne after the demolition of the Virgin Islands?
All in all, nice offensice play, horrible defensive. Not a win in four games, having lost points to teams all involved in the relegation battle. Better luck next time I suppose. We are playing Cafe Opera away, they play in Stockholm. I'll probably be going, so prepare for another "happy" report...
