It was close to a bang from the division one team Sandviken against IFK Gothenburg in the first group round of the Swedish Cup.

The first half ended in a draw, but Blåvitt had to fight uphill after the home team Sandviken scored two goals, in three minutes at the beginning of the second half.

But the management would not hold on for too long.

In six minutes, Robin Söder scored two goals for the visiting team, and three minutes later, Carl Johansson's header would give visiting Gothenburg the lead.

Three goals in nine minutes. 

"Then we can just tire them out"

Although the match did not start in the way that Gothenburg might have wanted, Wernbloom said that the physical would play a big role, in the event of a win.

- We can only hope that we beat them in perseverance and get the quality of our passes.

If we just get it up, they can run even more, and then we can tire them out.

I hope so, says Wernbloom. 

And of course it would be so.
