Philip Abrahamsson was the point-saver for Mjällby AIF's U16 side on Friday. The young player scored a 3-3 equaliser in overtime against HBK at Strandvallen, a goal that rescued a key point in the Allsvenskan B-playoffs south.
The point keeps hopes alive
The match had looked lost at 2-3 when regular time expired. Abrahamsson's late leveller meant Mjällby took a point from the encounter. It is an important result that keeps the team's chances of advancing in the tournament alive. For the senior side, it has been a tough spell with just two points from their last five matches, a run of form reading DDLLL.
Mjällby's first team currently sits 12th in the Allsvenskan with 22 points. They face GAIS at home tomorrow, a side positioned two places higher in the table. The focus for the U16 side is now on building from the positive feeling of Friday's rescued point ahead of their next challenge.
