GIF Sundsvall lost 4-0 to Landskrona BoIS in round 24 of the Superettan on Tuesday. It was a heavy defeat where the northern Swedish side never got into the game and conceded three goals in the first half alone.
Adam Egnell opened the scoring for the hosts from the penalty spot in the 20th minute. Just four minutes later, in the 24th, Gustaf Westström doubled the lead. Egnell got his second of the night to make it 3-0 just before halftime, in the 45th minute of added time.
Per Joar Hansen's team did not recover after the break. Despite a couple of early substitutions, with Marc Manchón and Nils Eriksson coming on, Landskrona maintained control.
The statistics reflected the one-sided match completely. Landskrona BoIS had 62 percent of possession and took a total of 21 shots to GIF Sundsvall's two. Only one of Sundsvall's shots was on target. The team has now lost three consecutive matches in the Superettan.
Following this result, GIF Sundsvall remain in 16th place in the Superettan with 16 points from 23 games. The team has conceded 47 goals this season, the worst defensive record in the league. A quick reaction is needed to turn the trend around.
The next opportunity comes this Sunday, September 20, when Ljungskile SK visit the NP3 Arena. Ljungskile are in 11th place in the table. To prepare, supporters can follow the team's fixtures and view the current squad. A win in that match is key to break the negative form and start climbing from the bottom of the standings.
