Aguda, 25, proved his mettle by netting a vital goal at Falcon Alkoholfri Arena, rallying his team twice from behind against their opponents in the Superettan qualification final.
His strike just before the halftime whistle equalized the score after Yusuff Abdulazeez had put the visiting team ahead in the 15th minute.
Despite a determined effort from both sides, the visitors surged ahead once more in the 78th minute through Isak Vidjeskog.
However, Falkenbergs refused to concede defeat, and their resilience paid off in the 97th minute when Oliver Hintsa’s goal secured the 2-2 draw, setting the stage for an intense second leg.
