VÄSTERÅS, Sweden (Interstat) — Västeras SK opened its Superettan season with a 2-0 road victory over Orgryte on Friday at Salon Urheilupuisto Stadion. Mikkel Ladefoged scored in the 15th minute and Taonsa Axel added a second-half goal in the 69th to secure the win. The result defied a pregame projection from Interstat, which gave Orgryte a 52 percent chance to win and predicted a 1-1 draw. The match was a physical affair, featuring five yellow cards. Both teams were playing their first official match of the 2025 campaign across all competitions.
