Last season, Varberg scored 14 goals in set situations, something that only Malmö FF, AIK, Elfsborg and Häcken could top.

And it is obvious that it will be a weapon for the Hallännings also in 2022.

In addition, spearheaded with a Brazilian new acquisition.

Because on Easter Eve, the new Eliton Júnior showed that he has a right foot that can deliver on both corners and free kicks.

In a close match like the one against Gif Sundsvall, it actually made the whole decision.

In the eighth minute, the 24-year-old first hit a well-aimed corner against teammate Oliver Stanisic's forehead, but still saw the ball bounce back towards the corner flag.

However, the Brazilian did not give up but took a few steps into the field and sent the ball in again, and now it went all the better.

Stanisic got his toe on the ball and steered in 1-0 to Varberg.

The cheers had to wait

When Gif Sundsvall's Daniel Stensson pulled a real crowd pleaser as he, after 24 minutes, wove through the guests' entire central defense and put the 1 - 1 equalizer away.

The Brazilian found just the right surface, but Sundsvall's goalkeeper Andreas Andersson seemed to be on his toes when he came out to box the ball away.

But it did not get better than that steam down in front of Simon Karlsson Adjei who could lift in 2-0 in an abandoned home goal.

However, the home crowd was not pleased with that one.

-It was incredibly nice, you got a little worried when the judge hesitated a bit at first.

I do not really know what they were hesitating about, I do not think I did anything wrong, says goal scorer Simon Karlsson Adjej to Discovery +.

The second half was of the more sleepy kind, and an undefeated Gif Sundsvall had an extremely difficult time getting to some sharp dangers.

The frustration of the guests was personified in the final minutes by the American Joe Corona, who first hijacked an opponent and in the next second slammed the ball into the stands.

It gave two yellow cards, one for each offense, and Corona's first Allsvenskan match from the start ended on the bench.

"At least bad today"

The match itself ended with a 2-0 victory for Varberg.

-We are probably the team that is least bad today, and we are a little better in fixed situations, where we win the match, says Varberg's Joakim Lindner to Discovery +.

-It is a security to be able to push it there on fixed.

If you do, you get x number of free goals per season.

It's a nice receipt that it works.

For Gif Sundsvall, the return to the Allsvenskan has started hard.

Saturday's loss was the third in a row in as many matches.

In addition, the start of the season has been disrupted by the tumult around on-loan goalkeeper Oscar Linnér, who had to leave the club since he expressed himself critically after being benched in the premiere.

-It is disappointing that we do not allow ourselves to participate and compete in these matches.

The goals we let in feel unnecessary, says Gif Sundsvall's coach Henrik Åhnstrand to Discovery +.
