Ljungskile loses the three points after it fielded loanee Vilmer Tyrén. Since he had already represented two clubs, IFK Göteborg and Kalmar, during the year, he was ineligible to play.

Sandviken submitted a protest, which has now been upheld, and the Swedish Football Association's disciplinary committee has now awarded Sandviken a 3-0 victory.

Ljungskile has written in its statement that it acted in good faith and had a dialogue with the association's transition group.

I am disappointed with the decision they have made, because we sought help from the association, which still has people who are very knowledgeable about transfers, Ljungskile coach Joakim Jensen says to Aftonbladet .
