Ramon Pascal Lundqvist's late equalizer means that both teams remain unchanged on either side of the relegation line. IFK Göteborg is still one point ahead of Halmstad.
That goal was extremely important. Both for me personally and for the team. Then we pushed really hard during the added minutes. But it's not bouncing our way right now, says the 1-1 scorer.
The disappointment was clear, both among the audience and the players in both teams, that the outcome was only one point.
But I think we went for the win properly. We wanted to win today. One point is better than no points. It can be important in the end, says Ramon Pascal Lundqvist.
Black suites
It was a match where two bottom teams with low self-confidence tried to break a number of black suites. But instead, most of the dark rows got longer.
IFK Göteborg has now eight matches in a row without a win. And the blue-white coach Stefan Billborn has still not won a match at Gamla Ullevi with his new club. Six failed attempts now.
Halmstad has not won an Allsvenskan away match against IFK Göteborg in 24 years.
But HBK managed to put a stop to two of their gloomy rows. After six losses, a point was finally earned in Allsvenskan. And after eight away losses in a row, that streak was also broken.
Halfway through the second half, the home team was awarded a penalty, but Ramon Pascal Lundqvist did not shoot the penalty well enough, and Halmstad goalkeeper Tim Rönning reached the ball without problems. It was Blåvitt's third penalty miss in a row in Allsvenskan.
It was a bad penalty. He read me pretty early.
Saved four out of seven
I had seen clips and had a feeling for which way I would choose. I had decided beforehand to go to the right when I saw that it was him who would take the penalty, says Rönning and continues:
A few years ago, I was terrible at penalties. They all went in. Then I don't really know what happened.
Now Rönning has saved four out of the last seven penalties he has faced. Three of the saves have come against IFK Göteborg.
Ten minutes later, another blow came for the home team. Halmstad launched a smart counterattack that ended with the Ivorian newcomer Yannick Agnero scoring his first Allsvenskan goal. But in the 89th minute, IFK Göteborg saved a point.
