Spectators: 7163 (Terracing: 5613, Seating: 1450, VIP seats: 100) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Sven Åberg kicked off to start the match. Joseph Kruuse blasted a shot towards the goal in the 4th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Stig-Åke Hylander having to make a save. After 5 minutes, Sivert Gunnarsson mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Tollered IK and the Nässjö players grew even worse after the yellow card. Sivert Gunnarsson kicked well hit freekick during the 6th minute of the match. Karl-Erik Benet took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from André Lange, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Karl-Erik Benet didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from André Lange went, in the 15th minute, to the upper right corner, 0-1 was the resulting score. In the 18th minute Sivert Gunnarsson shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Karl-Erik Benet saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Nässjö's Joseph Kruuse got a good chance for a goal in the 28th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. If Joseph Kruuse had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 29th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. An unexpectedly hard shot by Sven Åberg in the 31st minute of play forced Nässjö's goalkeeper Karl-Erik Benet to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball.

Calle Täman took the ball and in the 39 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Karl-Erik Benet. Karl-Erik Benet dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 1-2. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Rasmus Dalman during the 44th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. When the match had been going on for 45 minutes, Nässjö's David Giöck got an opportunity to shoot a penalty. He stayed cool and waited for the goalkeeper to move, before he confidently shot the ball into the goal, to the left of Stig-Åke Hylander. After fighting hard for a draw in the first half, the players were able to take a much needed rest.

The wind increased when Orvar Groth made the kick off in the second half. Orvar Groth sent away a hard shot on goal in the 57th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. An unexpectedly hard shot by Orvar Groth in the 61st minute of play forced Tollered IK's goalkeeper Stig-Åke Hylander to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. André Lange came free with the goalkeeper in the 68th minute of the match, and shot straight on target. The shot was a little too simple and Karl-Erik Benet could save by the left post. Karl-Erik Benet showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Sivert Gunnarsson, who was totally free with the ball in the 73rd minute. After 77 played minutes Nässjö got a freekick which was hit by Robin Browald. Karl-Johan Hellström took a chance and fired a shot far from the goal in the 77th minute, but it turned out to be a dangerous situation for Karl-Erik Benet. Nässjö's goalkeeper really had to stretch himself to stop the ball from crossing the goal line. After 84 minutes, Karl-Johan Hellström mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Tollered IK and the Nässjö players grew even worse after the yellow card. After 90 minutes of play, Nässjö's Joseph Kruuse made it 4-2 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Stig-Åke Hylander was left in no man's land by his defense there!
