In the clip above, you see what the disappointed Degerfors players Oliver Ekroth and Johan Bertilsson and coach Andreas Holmberg say about the breakthrough in Örebro and the last match against Ljungskile.
Three rounds in a row, Degerfors has had the chance to secure promotion to the Allsvenskan.
For the first time, the team did the required job and defeated Gais 2-1 on November 7.
But then Jönköpings Södra also won, which meant that the party had to wait.
The next chance came last weekend but then AFC Eskilstuna won 2-0.
At the same time, Jönköping won its match again.
On Saturday, Degerfors had his third chance, in a match that was moved from Stora Valla to Behrn Arena in Örebro.
The biggest loss of the season
Then the team answered for the season's flat match and lost 2-5 while J Södra won at home against Trelleborg with 2-1.

This means that DIF now has only a two-point lead over the Smålanders ahead of the final round of the Superettan next Saturday.
The team will then already face Ljungskile, who are ready to relegate away from home, and one point is probably all that is required for the Allsvenskan dream to come true after all.
Namely, in addition to a two-point lead, Degerfors also has a 13-goal better goal difference than Jönköpings Södra.
If it does not succeed, a qualifier against an all-Swedish team awaits.
