Raining. Cycling in the rain to the hospital. Take the bus to Simrishamn. The rain stops. Get picked up for a simple lunch at an acquaintance's. We take a short walk and watch a few minutes of Baskemölla - Gröstorp in division 6 (Gröstorp won 1-0). Nice and relatively large crowd. Drive to Korsavad IP for the away match against IFK Simrishamn. The crowd there is 188. Buy a result ticket. Sit in the stands next to the commentators, the match will probably be broadcast on the web. Nice weather but a bit windy. On the other side, people are sitting on the grass in the sun. In front of us is a small crowd of HIF supporters. There are running tracks around the stadium so you sit a bit away from the pitch.

HIF has the most of the ball. No real chances. Simrishamn has had a turbulent time. Losses in matches and players, the coach has been fired. After a quarter of an hour a misunderstanding in Simrishamn's defense, HIF easily scores 1-0. Not many chances in either direction. HIF has the initiative. Strong winds. High balls stop in the headwind. Free kick in a dangerous position, not HIF's strong weapon. High over. Many substitutes warm up. Half chances for HIF. Another free kick in a dangerous position. Oops. Straight up the crossbar! and 2-0. Then the break.

Mandatory sausage. Walking around the stadium. Hole in the fence, anyone who sneaks in? A small dog barks, do you think Simrishamn will cheer up? HIF has several chances to increase, including a post hit. Ball on the top of the net. The goalkeeper saves. Simrishamn wants a penalty. The referee say no. The commentators watch the replay, not a clear penalty anyway. HIF's goalkeeper nicely saves a bouncing shot. Free kick for HIF in a dangerous position. Bang! Up the crossbar again. Two-goal scorer. 3-0. Cramps and a few injuries. Juste match. HIF makes four changes at the same time, 10 minutes left. End 3-0 everyone thanks each other. The audience leaves. We drive to dinner at my friend's place. Then the evening bus back at sunset.
