Superettan Round 1

The superettan kicked off last weekend and there were a few eye catching results around the grounds. The main focus was properly on Assyriska hosting Hammarby. Two sides that surely will be challenging for promotion to the Allsvenskan next year. Hammarby though went down 1-0 and to a player who formally plied his trade with their fierce rivals Djurgarden. Jonas Kusi-Asare getting the vital goal that gave Assyriska the points. Elsewhere there was an interesting fixture between Osters and GIF Sundsvall. Sundsvall, another side that are expected to be among the challengers for promotion going down 2-1 to Osters. Osters themselves could be a dark horse after surviving last season following promotion of Division 1 sodra. Newly relegated IF Brommapojkarna were held at home to Jonkoping Sodra despite going ahead and may face an uphill battle to get promoted on that showing. J-Sodra themselves may be in for a good season with results like that. Degerfors spoiled Qviding's return to the 2nd tier with a hard-fought 1-0 win while Falkenbergs were 1-0 winners over Ljungskile, both sides look unliekly to launch a promotion bid but could be awkward opponents. Angelholm were 4-1 winners over IK Brage and they could be a dark horse, Angelholm. Landskrona will be an outside bet for promotion and will disappointed with their 1-1 draw at home to newly promoted Varnamo. Vasteras are also back in the 2nd tier and the city will be disappointed their first game back ended in a 2-0 defeat to Atvidabergs who could surprise this year.
