Location: Heden 2, Göteborg

A well played first half turned into a less attractive second,

as Skjutet won their first match of the season facing Mölndal at home. The scoreline ended 4-3 after 3-1 at halftime. Goalscorers were Bo Aztor (2), Jesper Palmqvist and Kristian Hansson. Most players seemed very anxious to get the season underway, and this showed during the first 15 minutes, when the green-white jerseys ran almost ferociously around, chasing down every ball. This resulted in two goals, the first coming after only 1 minute and 29 seconds, as Patrik Larsson rushed passed his marker down the rightwing and played a perfect ball in to Bo Aztor who just had to raise his foot slightly to charge in the lead. Ten minutes later Patrik Spång handled the ball just outside the penalty area, and with a lovely flick Bo Aztor brought it between two defenders, and elegantly put the ball away in the left corner for 2-0. Midway through the half, when a high ball into the box was dropped by Jerker, today's goalkeeper for BK Skjutet, Mölndal picked up the rebound and easily chipped the ball just inside the post. Some controversy followed this goal, when Skjutet claimed offside on the goal, since the other forward was well behind the defensive line, but the referee insisted that that player was out of play, and that the scorer had only the intention to put the ball in the net. Just before halftime Skjutet got two in front again, when Andreas Engel played a perfect ball through to Jesper Palmqvist, who rushed passed his marker and fired home 3-1 through the legs of the last defender and into the far corner out of the reach to the keeper.
In the second half play deteriorated and Mölndal got back in the match. 20 minutes in, they pulled within one, and at that point Skjutet looked nervous and confused, much like Mölndal did the first 10 minutes of the match, due to the aggressive charge of the hometeam. In the midst of this, Kristian Hansson came off the bench, and at a clever pass from Oskar Olsson, he rushed in from right midfield position and sweetly placed the ball in the right corner for 4-2. With one minute to go, Mölndal hurriedly charged in their third goal to bring them back into contention, but there was too little time to get the equaliser, and BK Skjutet got the three points after 90 minutes of play.
Showing good form in BK Skjutet this day: Oskar Olsson with his ability to cool things down, Bo Aztor for a magnificent first half with sharp scoring, Patrik Larsson with some swift rushes on his own, Johan Sonander for secure defending and Patrik Spång showed some of his magic and will at times. The next match is already on Tuesday, and maybe now that the premiere is done with, Skjutet will not fall into the play performed in this second half again. /JP
