Last Saturday was the first training session for the Finnish new acquisition Kai Meriluoto for the new club, today the first match – and the first goal when he equalized for his IFK Värnamo away against Elfsborg in the 62nd minute.
Leo Östman had given Elfsborg the lead with a header from close range at the end of the first half.
After Värnamo's equalization, it was the bottom team that dominated for a few minutes, and also got a reward through Otso Liimatta who made a replay of his dream goal from Värnamo's meeting with Gais – a powerful shot in the far corner.
It's a good shot, what can I say? It can't be a coincidence when it's two matches in a row, says the 21-year-old in Max's broadcast after the match.
Five minutes later, Elfsborg had equalized when Per Frick headed in a cross with his head.
Elfsborg also had a header against the crossbar but there were no more goals. Värnamo remains on the bottom spot with nine points, Elfsborg is third with 36 points.
I'm disappointed, we become too cautious when we are in a winning position with a quarter left, says Liimatta after the match.
