Degerfors endure tough night as broken bus and early own goal lead to 2-0 loss at Sirius

Broken bus and delayed kickoff. Then an own goal after two minutes. Degerfors had a tough time in the 0-2 away match against league leader Sirius.

Kick-off at Studenternas was moved up by 20 minutes when Degerfors did not arrive at the arena on time. When the bus broke down, the team had to wait for a replacement bus, which meant a new start time.

As the match got underway, the next blow came. Centre-back Ahmad Faqa scored an own goal in the second minute when he turned Zalán Vancsa's hard, low cross into his own net.

In the end, it was a 2-0 loss.

Degerfors is in the relegation play-off place in the table.

Sirius' three points mean the club tops the Allsvenskan with 48 points, seven ahead of nearest challengers Djurgården. The Stockholm team won 2-0 at home against Gais.

Hammarby is third on 40 points.
