Tokmac Nguen clicked and was sent off – then Erik Botheim became the match winner

(Djurgården – Malmö 0–1) Tokmac Nguen and Erik Botheim took the main roles in the big game between Djurgården and Malmõ. For better or worse.

It was in the 82nd minute of the game at 0-0 that Nguen was on his way through, but was stopped by Malmö defender Derek Cornelius, who cheered unrestrainedly for the Norwegian.

Nguen responded by running down the Canadian and was quickly shown the red card. The winger’s hockey tackle also led to big tumults between the teams, but in the end “Tokki” stumbled down the player’s tunnel and into the dressing room.

– He should have kept a cool head. You can’t be so angry that you react like that. It’s just unnecessary to put the team in this situation, said Discovery’s Swedish commentator.

– Incredibly stupid, he added.

And it would turn out to be fateful for the hosts. Ten minutes later, Botheim scored the match-winner three minutes into overtime.

In March, Nguen transferred from Hungarian Ferencváros to Djurgården, where he has scored two goals in four games.

Botheim also transferred to Malmö in February. So far, he has six goals and two assists in nine games for the blue jerseys.
