According to multiple reports, Eskilstuna United lost 3-0 away to Växjö on Good Friday. The referee did not have a card during the match, though the reason remains unclear. The defeat was Eskilstuna's first competitive loss since September, when they fell 0-2 to Djurgården in the Swedish Cup, as reported by several sources.
Eskilstuna United's home match against Hammarby was postponed because Hammarby reached a European final against Häcken, according to multiple reports. As a result, the team will have approximately 50 days between home matches. To fill the long break from league play, Eskilstuna United will play a friendly match against City's P15 boys, as confirmed by multiple reports. According to Eskilstuna-Kuriren, coach Rickard Johansson described the situation, saying "We are forced to do it."
Everything won't be euphoria and joy like in the premiere.
