Östers IF edged out GIF Sundsvall 1-0 in the Superettan, with the decisive goal arriving just before the hour mark. The visitors had to play most of the match a man down after Kalipha Jawla was shown a red card in the 23rd minute.
The breakthrough came in the 57th minute when Matias Tamminen finished from Samuel Burakowsky's assist to make it 1-0. GIF Sundsvall defended stubbornly after the sending-off but could not find a response.
With no detailed match statistics available, the contest hinged on Tamminen's strike after the early red card. Late yellow cards for Musa Jatta and Taiki Kagayama punctuated a scrappy finish as Östers IF held on.
