Strengthened by his first win in 18 games, Gif Sundsvall stepped out at NP3 Arena with the aim set for three new points.
For the opposition stood Sirius, whose coach Henrik Rydström before the match emphasized that you have everything in your own hands in the bottom battle.
It was also the visitors who took the lead at the start of the second half when Jonas Lindberg chipped in 1-0 with his head.
Sirius looked to go towards victory. Then everything changed within a minute.
The clock was at 83 when David Batanero sent a penalty to 1-1, and Sirius barely recovered until the next blow came.
Tobias Eriksson managed a return by shaving 2-1 and zero points had been turned into three for "Giffarna."
The victory means that Sundsvall is on the same side as Falkenberg, who is in qualifying, and that Sirius remains as eleven in the table.
