After 88 minutes, the game was interrupted at Jämtkraft Arena in Östersund due to several fireworks being thrown from Sundsvall's side of the stands. The referee called all players off the field for several minutes before resuming play.
Sundsvall struggled to create any real threats in the final minutes as home team Östersund secured a 1-0 victory with Jabir Abdihakim Alis' goal in the first half.
The match added to Sundsvall's frustrating run, making it their seventh consecutive loss this season. After the final whistle, Malte Hallin approached the remaining supporters at the corner to address them.
- Of course, I understand that they are frustrated. We are also extremely frustrated. I understand that they are angry, he said to ST and continued:
- We ask for forgiveness because it's terrible. At the same time, we can't go back in time. It is incredibly frustrating right now, but we must turn this around, work harder at training, talk more with each other, and sort out what needs to be done.
With their 1-0 victory, Östersund rose to third place in the table. In their next match, they face IFK Värnamo while Sundsvall awaits Helsingborg at home. "Giffarna" are last in the table with nine points.
