Having some time to spare, I quickly decide to cycle down to the station and take the train to Hässleholm for the home match against Eskilsminne. I go from the station in Hässleholm via Hembygdsparken with Snapphanen and the windmill to Österås sports ground. It's beautiful weather. HIF has been good lately, the most in-form team in the series. Too bad the year started so badly. Sit down in the stands. The match starts with a lot of corners for HIF, but none result in anything. Eskilsminne sticks out in a few attacks, HIF is clearly better. After half an hour, HIF pushes 1-0, shortly afterwards a HIF player is fouled in the penalty area. Penalty and safely added to 2-0. In the 40th minute, Eskilsminne counters and former HIF player Teddy Bermudez comes through and scores 2-1. At the same time, the goal scorer is injured and is substituted. It becomes a half-time sausage.

Goes over to the long side with standing room, there aren't many people standing here. Second half, Eskilsminne tries to chase an equalizer. HIF has most of it. Eskilsminne nods into the goal! Called off for a free kick for HIF. Lucky. The match ends 2-1, a nice victory and continued top feeling. Leaves. Could have been more in the audience on this beautiful day: 485. Walks past the church where a limousine is waiting outside. Stops at Madrix at Stortorget for a victory coffee. At the station, "cancelled" is written on many trains, but not in my direction. Not many on the train.
