Match: Lödde - Hanaskog 4-3 (Division 3 Södra Götaland)

Attendance: 150

My second game of the day, Lödde vs Hanaskog at Tolvans IP, kicked-off at 3pm. Having been to Wormo vs Kulladal I knew I would miss around 10 minutes of the game but as I arrived, in the 9th minute, it was still 0-0 on the scoreboard. Tolvans IP was opened in 2004 and is quite a nice football ground with a grass pitch and a covered main stand in the west side of the ground. There is a small stand in the east side as well and for IF Lödde this is be a ground to be proud of. With Löddeköpinge being situated by the E6 motorway Tolvans IP is a ground that is very easy to reach by car. For this game around 150 fans had made their way to the ground and most of us had a really great time at Tolvans IP. Hanaskog have lost several key players and with only a point in their opening five games 2016 will be a tough year for them.

Lödde started the game the better team and had several good chances to score. Instead it was Hanaskog who, against the run of play, made it 0-1 in the 34th minute. Hardly deserved but when Lödde equalized with the last kick of the first half everyone expected the home team to win easily. Hanaskog were outplayed in the second half and when Lödde made it 2-1 in the 53rd minute it seemed the game was over. Hanaskog refused to give up though and in a rare attack, in the 77th minute, a Hanaskog player made it to the penalty area and suddenly he went down. Penalty (no objections) and 2-2. An unbelievable scoreline and Lödde then threw the kitchen sink at the Hanaskog goal. In the 90+2 minute they managed to score again, 3-2 and (what looked like) three points to Lödde. Lödde´s manager went on to the pitch and joined the massive celebrations. The game continued though and I have no idea where the referee found all the time he had added on. In the 90+7 minute Hanaskog scored again, 3-3. Massive celebrations once again, this time from the away fans and players, and the home fans at Tolvans IP were in shock. Two minutes later, in the 90+9 minute, Lödde scored once again though to win the game with the last kick. 4-3 and an absolutely incredible end to the game. I have been to many football games in my life but this is the one of the most entertaining of them all.
