Soccer: Gif Sundsvall decided the Norrland derby late in the super-etana premiere

Watch the decisive goal in the player above.

The Swedish football season has started. On Saturday, Gif Sundsvall played for the first time against Östersund in the super league.

For a long time it looked like it would be goalless between the teams – but in extra time Sundsvall struck.

After carelessness in Östersund, Pontus Engblom was able to grab the ball and roll in the match-deciding 1-0 goal in front of a wildly cheering home crowd.

– It was a classic premiere match, not so many goal chances. It is an individual mistake that decides. It was just a matter of rolling it in, of course it was an invitation, says Engblom to Discovery+.

Last season, Sundsvall finished in tenth place, while Östersund finished fifth.
