It was fast and mobile, a game full of energy and forward thinking, but it takes more than talent and individual skills to win football matches.

As structure, weight and consistency.

Norling has a lot to work with - and a lot to learn from the pragmatic, cunning colleague Joakim Persson in Varberg.

IFK Norrköping's offensive is largely driven by hearing, by chance.

Certainly fun to watch and rewarding on a good day, but ineffective when the last, decisive pass is not on its feet or stopped by a disciplined, loyal defense collective like Perssons Varberg.

Massive pressure

There were not many feet wrong in the defensive - and that despite some massive pressure from Norrköping.

A mistake could have been costly, but it did not happen.

Midfielder Stanisic did not know Christoffer Nyman when he nodded the ball back.

Nyman grabbed the ball, Stanisic tore down Norrköping's profiled striker, received a yellow card, but the free kick did not lead to anything.

Fredrik Andersson had to work all the more the longer the half lasted.

With difficulty he met Nyman's nod and a heavy distance shot by Ari Skulason.

Jonathan Levi's nice ankle hit was Varberg's goalkeeper not close but there Andersson was saved by the crossbar.

Varberg offensively?

Consistently dangerous on solid situations and posts.

There is nothing new under the sun in the Allsvenskan 2022.

Anton Liljenbäck nodded just outside just after a few minutes, when Norrköping's defense focused on Robin Simovic.

It is doubtful if Oscar Jansson reached the ball if it went on the right side of the post.

However, he snatched Simovic's nod after a corner.

Some unfortunate moments led to the loss of the premiere.

Unhappy Fast

Defender Filip Dagerstål left Chimki and the Russian league after the outbreak of war in Ukraine and moved home to Norrköping.

An unexpected but welcome addition.

Dagerstål went straight into the starting eleven, but got off early in the second half with a profuse bleeding wound after Alexander Johansson put an elbow in his forehead.

In came young Theodore Rask.

Talented but far from the finished product.

When he went away roughly, Johansson got to the match's only goal after just over an hour of play.

For 21-year-old Rask, the misery was not over.

With just under a quarter of an hour left, Norling picked off the jumper.
