You could say that the definition of an anxiety meeting took place at Stora Valla on Saturday.
Before the match, the home team Degerfors was second last and visiting Sundsvall second last, and the feeling before it was that the best thing to do was to win if you want to have the chance to stay in the Allsvenskan.
The new acquisition became a hero
It was the home team that took the chance.
After Pontus Engblom rolled in 0–1 for the guests, Diego Campos stepped into the picture.
The new acquisition who joined Degerfos before the season volley-placed first nicely in 1-1.
In the second half, he then hit the free kick that Elfsborgs loanee Gustaf Lagerbielke tapped in.
- It was a free kick routine we ran in training yesterday.
I saw almost immediately when I was going to be completely clean, so it was just a matter of shouting at Granath to let it be, Lagerbielke told Discovery after the match.
Degerfors gives themselves the chance
Before the match was over, the talent Omar Faraj put the nail in the coffin.
Degerfors thus takes three heavy points, and climbs up to the qualifying spot in the Allsvenskan table.
