IK Norrköping won against IK Oddevold with 2-1 and took three consecutive wins for the first time this year. It was a stable performance by IFK Norrköping, which came out and took control of the match despite several key players being absent for various reasons. Noel Sernelius and Tim Prica scored the goals. It was a statement of strength, if not anything else. Three consecutive wins for the first time for IFK Norrköping this season in Superettan. Beforehand, it was clear that IFK Norrköping would have to do without Moutaz Neffati, Axel Brönner, Anton Eriksson and Albert Aleksanjan, who all have minutes in this year's IFK-upplaga. Then came the next setback: Christoffer Nyman was sick. But IFK Norrköping came out and took control of the match. In some way, it felt controlling from start to finish, even if the home team showed up with a threat in their offensive play at times. And it could have ended worse than it did. But Norrköping got the first and last word. First, it was Elias Jamal who came forward and scored 1-0 in the ninth minute. A class goal that deserves even more camera angles, but in Superettan, we have to settle for three. When Oddevold was about to equalize, they showed up with a nice attacking play and a movement pattern in the penalty area that allowed Leonardo Shahin to score the equalizer without any interference. But the last word was given to Tim Prica. Placed correctly in the penalty area, he could volley in 2-1 before the break. Which became the final result. Although it was a match where the feeling was that we would see more goals. And indeed, it could have been so. Leonardo Shahin's incredible finish, which fortunately went over the bar, exemplifies this. But the absence list that Norrköping had before the match is something that can only be said to be satisfied with both performance and result. A statement of strength, if not anything else. It says something about the breadth of this team. Not least now that Viktor Christiansson is back and has come in and delivered directly. And on the subject of delivered. Noel Sernelius. Seven assists in eleven matches. It's a fact that we can enjoy. And who would have thought that Tim Prica at this point would be noted for seven full hits? Maybe not so many. But it's nice that he's gotten it loose. This was also the third consecutive win. With a serious chance of being in the top. Just one point behind Varberg and Falkenberg, who have direct places to Allsvenskan. But one should also think about the fact that Varberg in writing has a match less played. A match between IK Oddevold and IFK Norrköping should almost be forbidden to be played on a Tuesday. The distance? Approximately four hours by car. With other words, it requires a lot of planning for a regular worker who wants to go from Norrköping to see the match, so a regular working day. But it was also nice to see that several IFK players had taken themselves to Rimnersvallen in Uddevalla.
