Halmstad end nine-match winless run with stoppage-time goal against Kalmar

After nine straight matches in the Swedish league without a win, Halmstad managed to break the gloomy trend. The goal came in the last minute of the match.

It looked like it would be 0-0 between Halmstad and Kalmar.

Halmstad had a great chance in the 89th minute, but Kalmar goalkeeper Samuel Brolin made a fine save from Hussein Carneil's shot and the crowd at Örjans vall prepared for another match without a win.

The referee signalled three minutes of added time, and in the last minute substitute Ludvig Arvidsson scored a beautiful goal.

I have a hard time taking it in, but it feels incredibly good right now, he tells TV4 Play.

Earlier on Saturday, Degerfors lost to Elfsborg, which means Halmstad now has a three-point lead over the bottom club.

Next week, Halmstad will meet Degerfors.

"Crush the dough," the crowd at Örjans Vall sings after the win.
