Spectators: 7490 (Terracing: 5618, Seating: 1723, VIP seats: 149) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Toninho Arruda got the match started through his kick off. In the 3rd minute Daniel Österlund shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Natanael Sena saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. In the 11th minute, Gernando Quintal left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Monumento Sports fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 0-1. Monumento Sports's Gernando Quintal got a good chance for a goal in the 17th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. After some fancy dribbling in the 19th minute, Toninho Arruda managed to get in a good position for a shot. Monumento Sports's supporters rose to their feet, but Toninho Arruda was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Sverker Söderman breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. 26 minutes into the game, Gernando Quintal cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 0-2. Sverker Söderman was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. When Gernando Quintal came up free with the goalie in the 31st minute, the Monumento Sports fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Gernando Quintal couldn't finish the play. In the 33rd minute Gernando Quintal shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Sverker Söderman saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. After 36 minutes of play, Monumento Sports's Gernando Quintal made it 0-3 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Sverker Söderman was left in no man's land by his defense there! Daniel Österlunds short, quick shot in the 40thth minute got Natanael Sena to make great effort and bar the ball away from getting in. After 41 minutes, Tommy Wållander mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Råda BK and the Monumento Sports players grew even worse after the yellow card. After a rather tough play, Råda BK's Tommy Wållander got a free kick in the 41st minute. After 42 played minutes, Monumento Sports's Gernando Quintal shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Sverker Söderman came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in Monumento Sports reached it. 46 minutes into the match, Råda BK's goal looked a bit too open when Gernando Quintal came free, but Sverker Söderman reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. After the first half Monumento Sports were leading 0-3. They had played with great self confidence throughout the first half and fully deserved their lead.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Frank Emander was the one to do the kick off. Monumento Sports's Natanael Sena played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Christopher Molander in the 51st minute of play. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Diego Ramos during the 52nd minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. 56 minutes into the match, Råda BK's Frank Emander sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Natanael Sena narrowly saved just below the crossbar. In the 57th minute Råda BK were awarded a corner. Jack Mattsson went to the cornerflag to take it. Gernando Quintal struck a weak shot in the 61st minute. Sverker Söderman didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Monumento Sports. Toninho Arruda fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 65th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Sverker Söderman having to interfere. In the 67th minute Toninho Arruda shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Sverker Söderman saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. The audience thought a goal was coming when Gernando Quintal got free with Sverker Söderman in the 69th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. After 72 played minutes Gernando Quintal rounded Råda BK's defense and shot a beautiful shot into goal via left pole - 0-4. After some careless play in the Råda BK defense, Gernando Quintal kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Sverker Söderman. The Råda BK fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Sverker Söderman should have stopped the shot. After having played for 78 minutes, Gernando Quintal managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Monumento Sports's supporters crossed their fingers, but Gernando Quintal was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Sverker Söderman stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Gernando Quintal's shot from short distance in the 87th minute. If Toninho Arruda had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 89th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. When the final whistle sounded Monumento Sports left the ground with the victory after a much better performance than Råda BK.
