Things were going to get worse for the visitors. Joakim Ovesson squirmed himself through their central defence after 24 minutes, bringing the lead to 2 - 0. Dimitri Simon's lightning pace was too much for Joakim Ovesson who could only look on as the Grilled player blasted one home. 2 - 1. 2-2 was a funny story: after 31 minutes the seemingly nonchalant lob from Grilled's Dani Spirig landed at the feet of Ola Martinsson who sent it into the net - goal! After 33 minutes, Joakim Ovesson came in from the right, feinted, then sped past the off-balance defender to put away the 3 - 2 goal, giving never the lead.
