After fifteen minutes of play we could have taken the lead. Zätterström tackled Sørensen in the penalty area and the referee awarded a penalty kick. Birmančević unfortunately didn’t score the goal. A few minutes later, Malmö got the same opportunity. However, Peter Vindahl made a great save against Christiansen's attempt.
In the second half, both teams had their time on the ball. In the 80th minute, Busanello fouled Preciado in the box and the referee awarded a second penalty to Sparta. Haraslín was successful and sent us into the lead. A few minutes later, Rrahmani increased the lead with his first goal in our jersey.
