Assyriska 4-1 BoIS: 1 game, 1 draw, then bring on the playoff!

By: Luka | October 18th, 2009

Yet again, mighty General Goran Marklund has led us to a crucial victory. In a day when almost everything, and I mean everything, fell into place, we are still left to lament those past injury time lapses. For you see, it was 90 minutes into the penultimate round of the Superettan, and the scores read thus:

Assyriska 4-1 Landskrona

GIF Sundsvall 0-3 Ljungskile

Vasalunds 0-0 Atvidabergs.

If today had been following a script written by my Assyriska-slanted hands, this is EXACTLY how things would have played out. Now, on to full time:

Assyriska subsequently win.

Sundsvall likewise lose.

Atvidabergs score in injury time for the 2232th time this season to snatch the 3 points and mathematically secure 2nd spot and automatic promotion for themselves. So close…

The table reads thus:

So, all we need now is a draw away to Jönköpings and we’ll be facing either Hammarby, Djurgardens or Orgryte over two legs for promotion. Unlike Atvidabergs (who must have pleased a lot of gypsies this year) GIF Sundsvall’s luck well and truly ran out and now they find themselves almost entirely out of contention. Considering the utterly dire slip in form we have been experiencing for seemingly the entire season, we should be grateful for the position we are currently in. However, given our history with Allsvenkan/Superettan playoffs, we should not get too carried away in euphoria.

Things began fairly precariously, with BoIS taking a frighteningly early lead after just 3 minutes. Then we pummeled them. Eddie’s and Ostlundh’s goals were of particular quality. Furthermore, Eddie was responsible for teeing up both of Marklund’s goals.

Enough said. Bring on Landskrona. Onwards and upwards!
