during the 1999 season, a re-construction of the swedish second tier was imminent. instead of two geographical leagues, labeled as division 1 south and north, the national superettan would begin in 2000. hence, it became imperative to finish the league at the upper half of the table, as the other half of the teams would be relegated. landskrona bois secured their place in superettan after a memorable game against kristianstads ff. after 88 minutes, the score was 2–4 to kristianstad, but when the referee blew his pipe this had changed into 5–4 to landskrona bois.
