2 - 2

This game probably summed up the differences between the two clubs playing a game.

The "Ope day", 900 kids playing football at Sportfältet - what an amazing and lovely day. Football at it´s best. But also, Ope has a foundation which is so, so strong. A history and roots going back 100 years. Cosmos 6 years of history, no home, no facilitites to call home and players from all around the globe. Also football at it´s best, it was truly David vs Goliath.

Ope are chasing the first spot, so it was several conditions that made this game, beforehand, really tough. But we came into the game full of belief, full of positivity and full of a great team spirit. Know we can match any team in the league if everyone give 100%.

We started the game in tough manner, conceded an early goal so it was uphill from there. We kept trying and kept going and had a really positive spell with several good chances. BUT, Ope then countered on us and their player/manager scored a great finish to make it 2-0. 

A few years ago, or even a few weeks ago, that might have been game over. But we fought back, we kept playing football, we kept trying and we kept the positivity going. And we got rewarded, we scored 1-2 and kept going and finally made 2-2. After 2-2 both teams had chances to win the gam, but thanks to great goalkeeping both ends the game finished 2-2.

For us to comeback against a massive club like Ope, after 2-0 down, shows how good we are when are united as a team. Manyt many players were terrific, but a special mention to Måns - coming on and putting his heart on the sleeves. Running, pressing and made a great impact from the bench after a long awaited debut. 

We keep growing, we keep learning and we are stronger together!
