Tilemachos Koutsopoulos kicked well hit freekick during the 4th minute of the match. If Nils-Emil Gulliksson had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 6th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 8 minutes into the match, Sunkens Surtröjor's goalkeeper Torsten Ljungberg had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Markos Tziortzopoulos. In the 11th minute Ludvig Sundin shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Pavlos Kourkouvelas saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. In the 12th minute, Nils-Emil Gulliksson ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Pavlos Kourkouvelas was frozen by the shot and now it was 0-1.

The penalty shot was made by Kurt Svensson, who made a well placed shot into the net to the right of BLACK PANTHER F.C's Pavlos Kourkouvelas. 0-2. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 0-2 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Aggelos Voliotis to strike the kick off in the second half. In the 58th minute, Zisis Velakoglou left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net.

After having played for 81 minutes, Aggelos Voliotis managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal.
