SUNDSVALL, Sweden (Interstat) — Kalmar opened its Superettan campaign with a 2-0 victory over GIF Sundsvall on Saturday at NP3 Arena, defying a pregame projection that favored a draw. Substitute Lars Sætra broke a scoreless deadlock in the 53rd minute. Fellow reserve Camil Jebara then sealed the win deep into second-half stoppage time, scoring in the 94th minute. The result came despite Interstat’s game simulator predicting a 1-1 draw and giving Kalmar a 74% probability to win. Both clubs were playing their first official match of the 2025 season across all competitions.
