Late turnaround - Kebbeh's long shot decided the game

The snowfall meant the newcomer Nordic had a long debut in the Super League. But the debut ended badly: GIF Sundsvall scored two goals in extra time and turned the score around to 3–2.

The equalizer came on a penalty kick, and shortly afterwards Suwaibou Kebbeh - from long range - scored the winning goal.

"We didn't have control in the last five," says Nordic's Elias Andersson to TV4 Play.

We have to take advantage of the chances, because there aren't many of them in the Super League.

The Easter Sunday match could not be completed due to snowfall. Instead, the teams had to return to Norrporten Arena the following day.

"It's the sickest match I've played in my career," says Andersson.

Nordic entered with a 1–0 lead. Yacqub Finey equalized with a free kick just after the 70-minute mark. The visitors' Niklas Söderberg headed in to make it 2–1 in the 86th minute, but then it was the home team's show.
