- It was important and nice to take three points.
It was three points that were important today.
Now we are up and running, says Marcus Berg who scored one goal and passed to the other.
The audience stood up and praised their team in the last minutes.
The flags were waved and the song and applause filled the arena.
When IFK Göteborg broke the deadlock in the 22nd minute, it was beautiful.
Marcus Berg heeled the ball to Simon Thern with the left shot up the ball in the far cross.
- It was nice of course and I got a good situation, says Thern about the goal to Discovery +.
There was wild cheering and Thern showed great joy.
On the newcomer Värnamo's bench, the manager's father Jonas, the old 1994 hero, sat with his arms crossed.
The pride he probably felt over his son's fine performance he hid well.
Magashy scored Värnamo's first Allsvenskan goal
- We were a bit taken by the seriousness of the moment but after 20 minutes we dared to play out.
They had a chance and we might have four good positions, said IFK Värnamo's Oscar Johansson after the first half.
Värnamo also received a dividend after just over an hour.
Abdussalam Magashy first nodded in the crossbar and then took care of his own return and thundered in 1-1 via the crossbar that was still shaking.
It was IFK Värnamo's first goal in the Allsvenskan ever.
Happiness, however, be only a few minutes for Värnamo.
Veteran Marcus Berg threw himself forward and pushed in Alexander Jallow's opening pass from the side for 2-1 and Gamla Ullevi broke out in a big cheer.
