- It is clear that it looks good but we must take those points as well and we also want to win the series and not be second, says Gustav Granath who vigorously nodded in the 2-1 goal at the end of the first half to DPlay.
With nine points left to play for, Degerfors has eight points down to Jönköpings Södra in the qualifiers.
There were crowds of Degerfors fans outside the gates but they could not bring out the big cheers.
50 people were officially inside the arena and watched the match from the stands.
"Can't do so much that they are not allowed to celebrate"
With 86 minutes played, Jönköping's Södra's Amir Al-Ammari almost extended the lead, but his shot from the left glanced off the top of the bar to fall behind the net.
The penalty goal meant 1-0 and was cooled by the promotion parties in both Degerfors and Halmstad.
In the event of a draw in Jönköping, Degerfors had risen tonight, in the event of a loss to Jönköping, Halmstad had also risen.
- We won our match and can not do much for them to postpone their celebration.
I do not know what to say, says J-Södra's Jesper Svensson smiling to DPlay.
The small Värmland mill community Degerfors has played 29 seasons in the Allsvenskan and is 16th in the marathon table.
The last time the club was up was in 1997.
