– We have seen it on Instagram and TikTok. Many news sites have made contact. It’s a lot of fun. It seems completely unreal that it has become such a big deal. It has never happened before, so it is very surreal, says goalkeeper Nellie Bengtsson to news. She has been in goal for the Ängelholm women’s team in all matches in the season.

The team plays its home games in Ängelholm municipality, a little over half an hour north of Helsingborg. – It is incredible. I have coached football teams for twenty years and have never been involved in anything like this. I’ve never heard of it. It’s fun in a way, but it feels strange not to win the series, says Ulf Johansson to news. The opponents only focused on one thing Over the course of the season, it was noticed that Ängelholm never conceded a goal. Thus, the opponents in the series change tactics. – In the last five to six campaigns, everyone focused on scoring goals. They didn’t care if they lost. All teams wanted to break this deadlock, so we had to concede a goal. Nevertheless, we succeeded and did not concede a single goal, says Johansson. – We have done an incredible defensive job. And then we also have a good goalkeeper, but the whole team is involved. Even without a loss and with zero behinds, it was only second place in the fourth division, northwestern Scania.

Photo: Susanne Kolbäck, Ängelholms FF In some games she has had little to do, but she has been very important to the team, according to the coach. – She has stood and froze a bit and maybe had one shot in a whole match, but there are some matches where she has been completely decisive. She saved a penalty against Perstorp and made some fantastic saves against Hörja and Ljungbyhed, which means we keep a clean sheet, says coach Johansson. Ängelholm still has the chance to move up to the third division. They will play the promotion final on Sunday. Goalkeeper Nellie Bengtsson thinks they will move up. – Did they keep a clean sheet on Sunday? – We are going for victory.
