Spectators: 7677 (Terracing: 5758, Seating: 1766, VIP seats: 153) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Ture Larsson kicked off to start the match. Ludvig Svensson took the ball and in the 7 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Matias Roganović. Matias Roganović dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 0-1. Juniors FC's Matias Roganović played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Ludvig Svensson in the 11th minute of play. An unexpectedly hard shot by Ludvig Svensson in the 13th minute of play forced Juniors FC's goalkeeper Matias Roganović to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Tord Kämpe in the 14th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Matias Roganović saved Juniors FC from getting behind. Ture Larsson blasted a shot towards the goal in the 21st minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Matias Roganović having to make a save.

Tord Kämpe scored 0-3 in the 39th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Matias Roganović, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. After a defensive mix-up in Juniors FC's zone, Ture Larsson stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Matias Roganović came out of the goal and Ture Larsson tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Ture Larsson recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 46th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Ricardo Baleren made a kick off. Tord Kämpe scored 0-4 in the 57th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Matias Roganović, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot.

After having played for 68 minutes, Tord Kämpe managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal.

After a rather tough play, Lillhärdal BF's Ludvig Svensson got a free kick in the 78th minute. In the 79th minute Ricardo Baleren shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Sixten Nordström saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line.
