The qualifier was as even and dramatic as only a qualifier can be.
Helsingborg decided late when Anthony van den Hurk nodded in 2-1 with only minutes left to play.
- First of all, what an incredible drama it was.
Even though it is a qualifier where just about anything can happen, considering the first match, where we saw a cowardly Helsingborg and where Halmstad seemed to have control, they did not expect this end, says Daniel Nannskog.
Halmstad had a 1-0 lead from the first meeting but lost everything in the end when the guests made both 2-1 and 3-1.
- In football you have to dare and Helsingborg did that today.
At Halmstad you saw that they had everything to lose, and you saw that in their game as well.
Halmstad, who is normally strong in the defensive game, looked shaky today, and that's what happens when a lot is at stake.
"It is he who decides"
Which players stand out for Helsingborg?
- Wilhelm Loeper is really an interesting player and someone you can build around.
van der Hurk has already shown that he can score goals in the Allsvenskan and it is he who decides today.
He is a stable piece to bring up with.
What do you say about the qualifier in summary?
- It was a surprising end but a huge congratulations to Helsingborg.
As a club, I feel that you belong in the Allsvenskan.
I also feel that Halmstad belongs there and they have to take new steps.
It must be extremely bitter for Halmstad to go down considering how many points they took in the Allsvenskan.
They also looked like an all-Swedish team.
Therefore, it must be extremely difficult to start over in the Superettan, says Nannskog.
