Tyreso Handball claimed a narrow 32:33 victory over Varberg in the Swedish Cup on Thursday evening. The away side took all three points despite Varberg pushing hard at home.
By then, the standings told a familiar story. Tyreso sat second with four points from three matches, while Varberg lingered in third on two points after one win and two draws.
And here's the thing — neither side had tasted defeat yet. Two wins and a draw for the visitors, one win and two draws for the hosts before kickoff.
To be fair, the scoreline reflected a tightly contested affair. Varberg had shown resilience in recent outings, drawing twice in their last meeting with Kropps kultur before that loss.
Tyreso's form had been equally inconsistent — a 39:39 draw with Onnereds followed by a 29:28 win the next day, then a string of convincing victories earlier in the campaign.
The result meant Tyreso extended their unbeaten run while Varberg's quest for their first win continued. Four points separated the sides in the table, and every point mattered now.
