Heated Exchange After SSL Showdown: Haglund and Weissbach Clash
The Kalmarsund-Pixbo SSL match ended in a fiery exchange between Kevin Haglund and Oskar Weissbach, leaving fans buzzing. Haglund, who scored a crucial goal in Kalmarsund’s 5-4 victory, didn’t mince words when discussing his encounter with Pixbo’s captain.
“I expressed my opinion to their captain,” Haglund revealed in a post-game interview. “I told him he’s the worst teammate I’ve ever played with. I stand by that statement.”

Weissbach vehemently denied these accusations,calling them “strong and strange” considering Pixbo’s victory. He insisted he had no reason to mock his former teammates and expressed disappointment at Haglund’s public criticism.
“I was part of that team, so why would I mock them?” Weissbach questioned. “It’s disrespectful for him to shout and taunt us after the game. His comments are absurd and unfortunate.”
