Sirius was headed for a heavy point loss in the bottom battle.
When the clock ticked up to 90 minutes in the away match against Värnamo at Finnvedsvallen, it was 0-0 on the board.
Then home player Victor Larsson slipped and gave Tashreeq Matthews free rein to slot the ball past a great Jonathan Rasheed.
– I was lucky, but that’s football. I was surprised when he went down, I just had to make sure it went into the goal, says the match winner to Discovery.
Double shutdowns
The goal was the South African’s seventh goal of the season.
The victory means that Sirius remains in the qualification spot, but only one point behind BP and two behind AIK.
– A tough match away from home. But very important victory for us to keep the fight alive. Now we put pressure on the other teams
The only blip in the cup was that key players Jakob Voelkerling Persson and Daniel Stensson are suspended against Degerfors in the next round after both received warnings.
