Jarfalla claimed a 3:1 victory over Sollentuna in their club friendly on Wednesday evening. The hosts took all three points at home, reversing the result from their previous encounter between the two sides. Sollentuna came up short despite carrying momentum from their recent wins.
The result stands in contrast to the fixture from August 20, when Sollentuna won 5:3 at Jarfalla. That was the last time these sides met, and the outcome has now been overturned. Jarfalla have not won since their 2:1 triumph over Norrtälje on September 10, while Sollentuna have been weighing up a move after mixed form.
Sollentuna arrived with some confidence from their 3:2 win against Arlanda on September 16. However, they had also suffered a heavy 2:5 defeat to Västerås IK just six days earlier. The visitors had been running out of games to find consistency, and this friendly offered no answer.
Jarfalla's recent record showed a 2:1 victory over Norrtälje, but the 3:5 loss to Sollentuna remained fresh. The hosts had given up the ball and hit them on the break in that previous meeting. This time they closed out the game without conceding again after taking the lead.
The final scoreline tells a simple story without requiring elaborate analysis. Three goals for Jarfalla, one for Sollentuna. The visitors had nothing to do all evening in the second half, or so it appeared from the result. Friendly matches like this rarely produce lasting conclusions, but the result itself is clear enough.
