Spectators: 7577 (Terracing: 5683, Seating: 1743, VIP seats: 151) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Ludwig Hägg took the kick off in the first half of the match. Dawid Watarz's late challenge caught a POSSE 1911 FC's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Dawid Watarz helped the player get up and apologised. A collision led to Saint Glenn Gothenburg getting a freekick after 3 minutes play. Dawid Watarz hit a great ball. 6 minutes into the match, Saint Glenn Gothenburg's goalkeeper Lennart Juhlin had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Sérgio Aguero.

Erubiel Sotil made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Mahoma Lopez in the 8th minute of play. 11 minutes into the match, Ludwig Hägg had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Erubiel Sotil. POSSE 1911 FC's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Ludwig Hägg was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-2.

Erubiel Sotil tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 0-2 deficit.

A beautiful save bye POSSE 1911 FC's goalie prevented a goal. The supporters of Saint Glenn Gothenburg booed when POSSE 1911 FC was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 73 match minutes in a wonderful position. Modesto Bernat didn't get a good kick on the ball.

The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 79 minutes into the match, Saint Glenn Gothenburg's goal looked a bit too open when Lukas Lundgren came free, but Lennart Juhlin reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.
