With two and a half minutes left of regular time, Irandust advanced along the right edge. When he turned inward, he did not meet much resistance. Defensively, Norrköping's players were on their heels.
Irandust shot from distance and the ball bored into the top of David Andersson's right corner.
An individual performance that stood out and became decisive in a meeting where both teams went for victory – but where the will was for a long time noticeably greater than the ability.
The victory means that BP is up in tenth place in the Allsvenskan table, while twelfth Norrköping only has Sirius between themselves and Degerfors on the qualifying spot.
Pressed Norrköping
Norrköping is pressed by significant economic problems and on the pitch – especially at home at Parken – a meager diet is offered.
One is so damn angry about so much. It's damn tough. We don't have the efficiency when we create chances, says Norrköping's coach Martin Falk to Max.
He did not make it easier for himself and the club when he did not select Sebastian Jørgensen in the starting lineup in what may have been the Dane's last match for Norrköping. Jørgensen started on the bench and came in with just over a quarter left to play.
The Dane, on loan from Malmö FF in the spring, has been one of the club's foremost offensive threats with five goals in ten matches. The contract is about to expire and it is unclear what his near football future looks like.
Most important to play
According to media reports, Norrköping wants to extend.
I think we should come up with a good solution for the clubs, but also for me personally. The most important thing for me is to play football, says the Dane to Norrköpings Tidningar.
Norrköping also lacked central midfielder Jesper Ceesay, who is said to be on his way to being sold to English League 1 club Bolton.
