It was a fateful match and derby when Degerfors visited Behrn Arena on Monday night. ÖSK was pressured to take three points to keep the hopes of the Allsvenskan game 2022 alive – but it did not happen.
Victor Edvardsen gave the visitors the lead in the first half and shortly afterwards Adelrahman Saidi increased the lead. ÖSK reduced overtime, but did not get closer than that. The loss means that Örebro remains second in the Allsvenskan, and with six rounds left to play, the distance is ten points up to Halmstad on safe ground. In addition, with a significantly worse goal difference than HBK.
After the match, it was a disappointed Nordin Gerzic who talked about the club’s season in Discovery +.
– It’s very tough, of course. I’m having a hard time putting something into words now that I’m so pissed off, it’s just weird. I’m incredibly disappointed. Not just at tonight’s game but our entire season so far. It felt like we could bounce back today, get the audience and the city with us… but then it’s 2-0 after 30 minutes, he says in the broadcast.
The club icon says that he had an early idea that this year’s season would be tough for Örebro.
– When we met in January, I was the best, I thought to myself. And that’s not a good sign to be honest. We started the Swedish Cup very badly and we started the Allsvenskan very badly. It was uphill right away. It’s been too jerky, we have not found a common thread. It hurts to stand here. We have many good players but far too many are buried underground, says Nordin Gerzic to Discovery +.
After 24 rounds played, ÖSK has collected 16 points and only managed to win four matches.
– We have not been good enough. We have scored 17 goals in 24 rounds, that is too bad. And I do not know how many goals we have conceded. We have lost too many matches and that is why we are here today, says Nordin Gerzic to Discovery +.
On Thursday, an away meeting with Halmstad BK awaits Örebro.
