Both teams park in the lower half of the table - Varberg fourth last, Sirius two places ahead - and are in need of points to climb.

But the meeting on the west coast was speechless.

The first half developed into a rainy story, where Varberg started best but where Sirius then took over more and more.

- We started badly but worked our way into it, Sirius Moustafa Zeidan told Discovery Plus during the break.

Close to self-goal

His team was close to an own goal already after 25 seconds, but the ball took the post after a shot from Luke Le Roux.

Varberg pushed the guests down the first minutes but then lost the initiative in the match.

Midfielder Oliver Alfonsi was unhappy.

"Got too low"

- We started well and had two, three good positions, but did not take advantage of them.

Then we became too low and failed in the press game, he said during the break.

Varberg had another ball in the post in the second half, when Simon Karlsson Adjei came free with David Mitov Nilsson with just over 20 minutes left but did not manage to poke in the lead goal.

Instead, the team had to share the points.
