Jörgen Qvalfeldt showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Denis Stoicea, who was totally free with the ball in the 34th minute. 39 minutes into the game, Jonathan Bjursell lined in a short shot 2-2 behind a frustrated Jörgen Qvalfeldt.

Both sets of players seemed reasonably pleased with how the match was going.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Kaya Österberg to make the kick off. Dick Forssell sent away a hard shot on goal in the 53rd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After 56 minutes of play, Djurgården Sthlm's Kaya Österberg made it 3-2 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net.

In the 67th minute, Jonathan Bjursell made a precise shot to the right of Jörgen Qvalfeldt. Cheetah Team's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 5-3. Djurgården Sthlm's Celil Çağakan played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Tim Askberg in the 76th minute of play.

The tension between the Cheetah Team and the Djurgården Sthlm players grew even worse after the yellow card. Celil Çağakan made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Dick Forssell in the 92nd minute of play. For all the effort they put into the match, the Cheetah Team players left disappointed. They had fought hard, but couldn't break down the home team's defense. The match ended in a win for Djurgården Sthlm.
