BellevueGround: Mellanhedens Idrottsplats Visits: 1 Date: 23rd June 2022 Match: Bellevue - FC Trelleborg 1-1 (Division 4 Skåne Sydvästra) Attendance: 120 With Friday 24 June being Midsommarafton in Sweden plenty of clubs played on Thursday evening. In Division 4 Skåne Sydvästra it was the top of the table clash between FC Bellevue and FC Trelleborg that stood out and I decided to go to Malmö tonight. FC Bellevue play at Mellanhedens IP in western Malmö meaning I had to drive through most of the city centre to reach my destination. The ground itself is very basic and definitely one of the most boring I have visited. A fenced off artificial pitch and no stands is not exactly what groundhoppers are dreaming of but I guess I can't have a nice ground all the time. Once I found somewhere to park it was only a few minutes walk but as I made it inside, 20 minutes prior to kick-off, I was the only spectator present. Being 1st v 2nd I was a bit surprised but as the game got underway the total attendance was around 120, a decent crowd at this level. This was a tight and intense match and in the 1st half there weren't many clear chances but the visitors from Trelleborg still managed to score, 0-1 at half-time. In the 2nd half Bellevue were the better team and in the 55th minute they equalized. Bellevue kept on attacking and 20 minutes from the end they were awarded a penalty. The penalty was saved though and less than a minute later it was mayhem on the pitch. Two players, one in each team, was given the red card, and from my position that looked like a correct decision. No more goals tonight but in the last minute of stoppage time FC Trelleborg had another player sent off. Plenty of drama but 1-1 is a result the visitors from Trelleborg should be pleased about.
