May 12, 2019: IFK Hässleholm - HIF 2-2
Railway work, replacement bus to Hässleholm. The bus gets full. Nice company, talking about everything possible. Though that with healing and looking into the future, I do not believe in at all. Begins with beer at Casablanca. Walk through Hembygdsparken to Österås. There will be a party at the café. HIF supportes are on their way to the match, they have had a picnic in Djupadal. Derby IFK - HIF, there will probably be many spectators.

Haven't had lunch, starting with a sausage. The teams greets each other in a friendly manner. Blows strongly. The seating stand is quite well occupied. We stand on the other side with the wind in our backs. Cold wind. FK clearly begins best. Presses HIF, which defends well. Free kick outside the penalty area. Perfect location. Nice in goal and 1-0 to IFK. Sigh. HIF is improving. The game gets even. Just before the break, HIF's scores 1-1. Good, but not quite fair. Break and sausage again. A dog looks longingly at the sausage.

Second half is even. Multiple chances for each team. Many of the sitting people have moved to our side, the chilly wind is the cause. Nice nick in goal, 2-1 to HIF. 859 spectators. Many players start to feel cramp. Unconcentrated in the HIF defense, 2-2 rolled in. IFK player links out heavily bandaged. Heavy pillar shot from IFK in the wind. HIF free, rescue. IFK free and tripped, suspension. Nice rescue of HIF's goalkeeper. Close to more goals, but finish 2-2. I am satisfied with 1 point, both teams seem dissatisfied. Goes to Casablanca and eats pizza. Bus home 17.30, 90 minutes. Long day, but it was worth it for a derby. Seven years since I last saw one.
