It was with 23 minutes on the clock that the new acquisition from Djurgården struck.
Noel Milleskog tunnelled not one but two HBK players before breaking into the lane and finishing with a left foot next to the goalkeeper’s far post to make it 1-0.
Sirius controlled the game in front of a well-attended Studenternas, but received a grim message when the team’s centre-back Tobias Carlsson was forced into a substitution after 36 minutes following an injury.
However, that interruption did not result in any turning point in the match, because shortly after the break, the Uppsala team made it 2-0 through Yousef Saleh, who got the ball the wrong way around in the penalty area and weaved his way through three opposition defenders before rolling it into the net.
Sirius then hit the definitive nail in the HBK coffin when the visitors’ Jonathan Svedberg happened to put 0-3 in his own goal after a corner.
– A good effort, three points and a clean sheet, that was the most important thing. Great to score, but we still have a lot to work on both individually and as a team, says 2-0 scorer Yousef Saleh.
