Yukiya Sugita and Mohammed Saeid fixed the three-pointer for Sirius in the entertaining top match at Östgötaporten.

In the first half, Sirius and Mohammed Saeid could have celebrated an early goal, played free as he was by the fast Japanese Sugita.

Norrköping responded with chances and above all a heavy shot by Alexander Fransson.

That the fast and fun match start was not topped with any goals was due to these two men: Isak Pettersson in Norrköping's goal and colleague Lukas Jonsson in Sirius.

Nyman scored his 13th goal

The equalizer was Christoffer Nyman behind himself.

With force, he won the ball in the penalty area, turned and shot his 13th goal of the season.

- I porridgeed in that one.

Unfortunately, we made it too easy for them to sign, says Nyman to Dplay.

Points for artistry are not awarded in football, but if that happened, Sugita should have received ten points for both the footwork and the sniper when he equalized the minute (38th) later.

Japan was a constant threat and when Norrköping gave him space to attack upright, it went as it went.

The start that gave victory

Sirius has more tools than Sugita and Vecchia in its box.

It was almost a siege in the second half and the attacks tore bigger and bigger holes in Norrköping and in the end the dividend came when Mohammed Saeid steered in 1-2 on Axel Björnström's post.

The victory gives Sirius close contact with third Norrköping and fourth Elfsborg with only one point, but the Uppsala team also has one match less played.
