Messy in both penalty areas, especially in Mjällby's at the beginning of the match and a little advantage Varberg.

This is how the first 45 minutes at Varberg Energi Arena were summed up.

- It's a really bad first half, it's a plan that only invites fights and we have to start winning the duels, it's just that simple, said Mjällby's team captain Jesper Gustavsson at half time.

He was supported by Varberg's ditto Joakim Lindner.

- I'm inclined to agree with him.

Then the plan is as it is.

It's bouncy, there's a lot of fighting, it's not a fair game here.

You see that there is a chance of a goal on mistakes from the team, it is important to minimize the mistakes.

There were somewhat clearer goal chances in others, especially from Varberg's side.

But Mjällby's goalkeeper Samuel Brolin was responsible for two high-class saves and made sure that the meeting ended 0-0.

- It's tough to come here, they get pressure on us, but we have a really hard time fasting.

So after the match, a point in Varberg feels pretty good, says Mjällby's coach Andreas Brännström.

For Mjällby and Samuel Brolin, it was the fourth held zero for the season.

Mjällby is third and has ten points after five rounds played, while Varberg is ninth in the table with his seven points.
