Tactical Story

Hestrafors IF used a fluid 4-4-2 diamond that overloaded the midfield, allowing them to dominate possession and create overloads in wide areas. Their high press forced Jonsereds into mistakes deep in their own half. Jonsereds, set up in a defensive 5-3-2, were simply overwhelmed by the pace and movement of the home attack. Their lone goal came against the run of play but did little to alter the course of the match.

Standout Players

• Hestrafors IF’s striker (two goals, one assist): Led the line brilliantly and was involved in the majority of the attacking moves.
• Hestrafors IF’s left-back (two assists): Bombed forward all match, delivering dangerous crosses that caused constant problems.
