Mikkel Ladefoged had done his part in building a 2-goal cushion. What happened after that was collective, and Östersund were allowed back into a match that had been finished with.

Mikkel Ladefoged says Degerfors went back on their word
“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Alexander Hedén Lindskog hands in a written request
“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Degerfors can pretend not to have heard.

No hiding place for Matvei Igonen
