    Please give your opinion

    1) Red card, yellow card or nothing? The referee decided on the third

    2) Penalty, yes or no

    2. Indeed most likely there is an injury to Nyberg then. He was also replaced on short notice by Kristoffer Karlsson for the Malmö-Mjällby game last week and was without domestic appointment this weekend.
