Spring's seventh victory came at Finnvedsvallen.

Mjällby is going to summer break as the Allsvenskan's third team – a position that brings a medal and qualification to the Europa Conference League.

23 points in 13 matches is the club's strong record since the beginning of April. If it continues like this, Mjällby will reach its highest position in the league so far.

The best result has been a fifth place in 2020.

After a quarter of play, referee Richard Sundell had to temporarily stop the match due to an unusual pitch invasion.

A curious cat, alone and new, ran onto the field and took an impressive run to make itself playable.

It almost reached the midfield circle.

There, Värnamo defender Victor Larsson stepped forward and handled the animal with care. He approached it cautiously, lifted it up, and handed it over to a security guard.

Other than that, there was no major incident in Värnamo, which came into the match strengthened by a 4-0 away win against IFK Norrköping in the previous round.

A so-so start was immediately exploited by Mjällby. Already in the first minute, Arvid Brorsson scored the opening goal.

Värnamo had its chances to equalize, mainly from Gustav Engvall, but it didn't work out. Jacob Bergström, however, could score his fifth goal of the season after a one-hour play.

Johnbosco Samuel Kalu maintained contact with a nod to 1-2, but Värnamo didn't get any closer.

The club will have to wait until the fall season to try to win its first home game of the year. Although only two of the six matches have been played at Finnvedsvallen due to poor underlay, the statistics are still dismal: one point out of 18 possible and 4-14 in goal difference.
