With nine points up to Degerfors in the qualifying spot, it was win or lose for the Skåne team today.

The team got off to a nightmare start when Gustaf Lagerbielke headed in 1-0 already in the fourth minute of the match.

Diego Campos hit a cross from the left wing that Lagerbielke headed in.

Goal for the second game in a row for the defender.

- Terribly defended by Helsingborg in an acute crisis situation where you need to do everything properly.

The first thing you do is a marking miss, it's unbelievable, said SVT Sports expert Daniel Nannskog in the live report from today's round.

Granqvist in the dressing room

Early uphill for Helsingborg and the goal was the only one in the first half.

At half-time, the television images showed how the sporting director Andreas Granqvist was down in the dressing room to urge the players on.

Granqvist's words may have done the trick because Helsingborg came out in the second half with a calm offensive and the equalizer came early after a beautiful attack.

Abdul Khalili hit a delicious through ball to Amin Al-Hamawi who made it 1-1 in the 54th minute.

Taha Ali then had an excellent position to make it 2-1 from close range with just over a quarter of an hour remaining, but goalkeeper Jeffrey Gal saved with his right fist.

Shortly thereafter, the game turned the other way where Nikola Djurdjic had an open position, but dotted Casper Widell who was left alone between Djurdjic and the goal line.

For the Varmlanders, the positive trend continues and this was the team's ninth straight Allsvenskan match without a loss.

They remain in the qualifying position, one point behind Varberg above the line.

Varberg plays away against Mjällby tomorrow.
