Heavy Blow for Helsingborg – Lost to Utsikten

Helsingborg has set its sights on an Allsvenskan comeback. Then came a setback: Defeat against Utsikten. I don't care about the numbers, but 0-4 isn't pleasant, says coach Klebér Saarenpää.

Fourth in the table and with qualification and direct promotion to the top division within reach after 25 rounds of Superettan.

In the 26th match, an unexpected blow came for Helsingborg.

The away game against Utsikten – ninth in the table with ten points fewer and without a win in five matches – ended in defeat.

There's a lot that's not good, and I have to be the first to stand up for it: bad "set up", bad preparations. We're not there. I have to look at myself first, says Klebér Saarenpää to Max.

Today, I'm doing a bad job, simply.

Robin Book scored 1–0 after 23 minutes, and in the 37th minute, Kalipha Jawla got his own rebound and increased the lead.

We're losing the duel game and aren't that good, says Ervin Gigovic to Max.

It didn't get much better for the Skåne club, and Utsikten's Jawla scored 3–0 in the 67th minute. Abudance Salaou made it 4–0 in stoppage time.

Helsingborg, which was relegated from the top division in 2022, is thus stuck on 43 points.

It hurts, we're bad, we're all bad, but if we summarize the season here and now or drop some points, I'm extremely proud of what we've done. But we're in it, we want a bit more, says Saarenpää.

Degerfors tops the table on 50 points and faces Gif Sundsvall on Sunday, Landskrona is second on 45, and Öster, which faces Oddevold on Sunday, is third on 44.
