According to Sportbladet's sources, the star referee made his way down from the stands and made sure a player was sent off. Afterwards, Nyberg apologized.
13 minutes had passed in Sunday's match in Division 6 Dalarna North. The score was 0-0 on Stora Ensoplan in Borlänge when a player from visiting team Amsberg committed a foul against the home team Kvarnsveden’s goalkeeper. The referee issued a yellow card. But while the goalkeeper was being cared for, a person stepped up to the assistant referee. It was Glenn Nyberg, several times voted as the country's best referee, who this year became the refereeing officer for Kvarnsveden. After a brief discussion with Nyberg, the assistant referee called for the referee, who changed his decision from yellow card to red card. With only 10 players on the pitch, Amsberg fell apart and lost 4-0.
Sportbladet has spoken to two spectators who confirmed that Nyberg, who allegedly was dressed in a Kvarnsveden shirt, clearly influenced the referee trio. “He wanted a red card. Then there was a red card”, one of them said. “Of course, wanted it.” Amsberg has turned to Dalarna Football Association in connection with the actions of Glenn Nyberg. “What Glenn did affect the match”, one leader said. “Are you saying that there is a difference between whether an unknown private person is talking to the referee and if Glenn Nyberg does? Of course. If a Champions League referee tells an assistant referee in Division 6 that it should be a red card, then it's clear he wanted it. Everyone gets it.” “We want an apology, a confession that he was wrong. Then we may be able to demand replay, because we feel deprived of an honest match”. Sportbladet has contacted Dalarnas Fotbollförbund and Glenn Nyberg with no results. But, according to Amsbergs SK, Nyberg has contacted the association on Monday and apologized for the entire situation.
