Bålsta
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Orvar Kristiansson got the match started through his kick off. Ödeborg's Johannes Gustavsson proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 3rd minute of the match, managed to save Ödeborg from getting a goal against them. Leif Karlsson could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 7th minute of the match, but Johannes Gustavsson made a huge save. Ödeborg's Sune Bröms got a good chance for a goal in the 9th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Sune Bröms blasted a shot towards the goal in the 14th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Jakob Nordmark having to make a save. Johannes Gustavsson made an important save on a dangerous shot by Leif Karlsson in the 18th minute. Orvar Kristiansson fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 21st minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Johannes Gustavsson having to interfere. 23 minutes into the game, Roy Alströmer was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Ödeborg's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Bålsta IFK the free kick. Bålsta IFK's Johan Dahlgren shoveled away a really nice long shot in the 24th minute of play. The shot was stopped by Johannes Gustavsson but with some difficulty. 27 minutes into the match, Leif Karlsson dribbled the ball past the defender and swiftly kicked the ball to the left of Johannes Gustavsson, 1-0. Jakob Nordmark took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Aleksander Skräddare, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Johannes Gustavsson made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Orvar Kristiansson in the 38th minute of play. The audience was convinced that Orvar Kristiansson's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Johannes Gustavsson was relentless in the 40th minute of the game. 42 minutes into the match, Bålsta IFK's goal looked a bit too open when Aleksander Skräddare came free, but Jakob Nordmark reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. If Leif Karlsson had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 47th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. The away team players looked dejected as the walked off the pitch at half time. They had fought hard, but were still losing 1-0.

The wind increased when Sune Bröms made the kick off in the second half. Sune Bröms received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 55th minute. Jakob Nordmark tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Ödeborg's Sune Bröms got a good chance for a goal in the 65th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. With a little luck, Bålsta IFK's Jakob Nordmark got control of the ball when Aleksander Skräddare tried to sneak it across the goal line. After a rather tough play, Ödeborg's Leo Back got a free kick in the 75th minute. Jakob Kämpe struck a weak shot in the 79th minute. Johannes Gustavsson didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Bålsta IFK. In the 81st minute, Leif Karlsson got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. Orvar Kristiansson might have been able to make a better finish in the 82nd minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Johannes Gustavsson. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Orvar Kristiansson ran back to his position shaking his head. Aleksander Skräddare sent away a hard shot on goal in the 85th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After a defensive mix-up in Ödeborg's zone, Orvar Kristiansson stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Johannes Gustavsson came out of the goal and Orvar Kristiansson tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. In the 89th minute, Per-Åke Hääger hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Johannes Gustavsson took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Orvar Kristiansson, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side.
