Ludwig Hjeltman's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Svante Lindqvist read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 7th minute of play. In the 10th minute, Varnhem's Torbjörn Drake seemed to kick out at an opponent. The referee saw this and, surprisingly, showed Torbjörn Drake the red card, dismissing him from the pitch. The coaching staff of Varnhem protested bitterly, but the referee would have none of it, and Torbjörn Drake had no choice but to slowly walk off the pitch. In the 9th minute, one of Varnhem:s players had the ball in front of the goal but got pushed and fell. The referee felt it was an obvious case and blew a penalty for Varnhem.

Carl Svartengren sent away a hard shot on goal in the 18th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Leo Ekrot came out of the goal in the 20th minute to try and stop a shot by Sköldinge FF's Per-Erik Olofsson. But to his dismay, Per-Erik Olofsson quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 0-2. Leo Ekrot showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Edvin Fribäck, who was totally free with the ball in the 26th minute.

To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. When the match had gone on for 40 minutes, Göran Larsfelt took a quick shot and it went in 1-2 without a chance for Svante Lindqvist to make any attempt to save it. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 1-2 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Andy Bark to make the kick off. After 54 minutes Sköldinge FF's defender was forced to head the ball over the line for a corner. It was Karl-Oskar Nyström who took care of the corner kick.
