But the joy was marred by hero of the match Chovanie Amatkarijo, who scored both goals, receiving a yellow card after celebrating goal number two by donning an orange mask.
— It was reckless, he celebrates with some mask. And he will be suspended for the next game. We’re going to have a big talk, says ÖFK’s coach Magnus Powell Östersunds-Posten after the game.
The quirky celebration was a nod to an animated Japanese TV series, according to Amatkarijo.
— I like to watch a manga series called “Naruto”, so I’ll do that to celebrate, he tells the newspaper.
For Powell, the joy seems to have been clouded by the heavy break.
— That’s fucking bad behavior. The club’s existence is at stake.
ÖFK is second last in the table with 19 points and risks relegation with eight games left to play.
