Qviding FIF 1 Reading 2

NOEL Hunt scored two late goals as Reading came behind to snatch a win in the last game of their Swedish tour on Tuesday night.

The Irishman struck on 77 minutes and 87 minutes to cancel out Fuad Hyseni's strike in the dying seconds of the first half.

The Swedish second division side were by far the toughest of Reading's opponents during the week long tour which has also seen them record wins over Jonsereds IF and Tolo IF.

They went in front on 44 minutes when Hyseni burst clear of the offside trap before comfortable slotting past Adam Federici.

But as the second half wore on Reading took control and they levelled things up when Jimmy Kebe crossed for Hunt to head home.

The Irish international had only been on the pitch six minutes before equalising and he added his second soon after, rounding the keeper and scoring after being played in by James Henry.

Reading: Federici; Rosenior (Karacan HT), Bertrand, Cisse, Pearce (c), Gunnarsson (Davies HT), Tabb (Harper 59), Church (Mooney 85), Robson-Kanu (Henry 59), Kebe, Long (N Hunt 71).

  on what do you judge this result,the league they're in might be 2nd tier, but 2nd to a poor league.
  
  if we have aspirations of higher football you've got to be whacking teams like this and kettering especially.
