Sollentuna secured a 85:67 victory over Cross Over in the Superettan on Sunday, moving with purpose away from home. The result followed a tense encounter between the two sides, who had met earlier this season when Sollentuna won 90:60 at home. This time the gap was wider, and the visitors held their advantage throughout.
Cross Over struggled to find their rhythm from the opening minutes, while Sollentuna played with a clear plan. The home side managed only 67 points despite their efforts, and the visitors made the difference with consistent scoring. The loss leaves Cross Over searching for answers after a difficult run of form.
Cross Over have not won in their last three outings, dropping points in each game. They lost 75:94 to Örebro, then 60:90 to Sollentuna, and before that 73:100 to Norrköping. The pattern is worrying for the home club, and the coaching staff will need to address the issues quickly.
Sollentuna came into this match on the back of a narrow 98:103 defeat to Vätterbighden Stars. They have shown they can compete with the stronger sides, even when results do not go their way. Their away win here adds confidence to their campaign.
The result keeps Sollentuna in contention while Cross Over face a difficult period ahead. Both clubs will reflect on different aspects of the match, but the scoreline tells the story. Sollentuna took what they came for and moved on.
