Old Trafford
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Martin Holmgren kicked off to start the match. In the 3rd match minute, Surte FK was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Anders Högström to maneuver through the defense. Martin Holmgren fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 6th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Rudolf Arvidsson having to interfere. Ernst Rosén charged in rather forcefully in the 9th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Ernst Rosén the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. In the 10th minute Mats Olsman shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Stefan Vik saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Mats Olsman took the ball and in the 10 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Stefan Vik. Stefan Vik 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. After a rather tough play, Surte FK's Stig Wallman got a free kick in the 13th minute. 19 minutes into the match, Surte FK's goal looked a bit too open when Martin Holmgren came free, but Rudolf Arvidsson reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Charles Lundhberg was extremely unlucky when he, in the 21st minute, took a shot that hit the right post and went out. Anders Högström's late challenge caught a FC Bortrekrysset's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Anders Högström helped the player get up and apologised. After a rather tough play, Surte FK's Anders Högström got a free kick in the 22nd minute. In the 24th minute, Martin Holmgren made a precise shot to the right of Rudolf Arvidsson. Surte FK's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 2-1. Stefan Vik showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Mats Olsman in the 32nd minute of the match. Stefan Vik made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Nils-Emil Bengtsson in the 33rd minute of play. Through an outstanding action, after 36 minutes, Rudolf Arvidsson successfully got his hands on the ball before it slid into the goal at the right post. In the 40th minute, Stig Wallman hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. FC Bortrekrysset's Olof Vallmark shoveled away a really nice long shot in the 41st minute of play. The shot was stopped by Rudolf Arvidsson but with some difficulty. Martin Holmgren received a nice pass, split the defenders, and ran untouched towards the goal. Rudolf Arvidsson came out and tried to block the shot, but Martin Holmgren slotted it home off the left post making it 3-1 in the 43rd minute. Surte FK's Rudolf Arvidsson played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Martin Holmgren in the 47th minute of play. No-one was surprised that the home team were leading 3-1 at half-time.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Mats Olsman to strike the kick off in the second half. Surte FK's Rudolf Arvidsson played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Martin Holmgren in the 53rd minute of play. After some fancy dribbling in the 56th minute, Martin Holmgren managed to get in a good position for a shot. FC Bortrekrysset's supporters rose to their feet, but Martin Holmgren was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Rudolf Arvidsson breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. In the 57th minute Charles Lundhberg shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Rudolf Arvidsson saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Martin Holmgren sent away a hard shot on goal in the 59th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After a rather tough play, FC Bortrekrysset's Ernst Rosén got a free kick in the 62nd minute. FC Bortrekrysset's Martin Holmgren got a good chance for a goal in the 64th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Inge Valrot might have been able to make a better finish in the 67th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Rudolf Arvidsson. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Inge Valrot ran back to his position shaking his head. After 73 minutes of play, FC Bortrekrysset's Charles Lundhberg made it 4-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Rudolf Arvidsson was left in no man's land by his defense there! Surte FK's Nils-Emil Bengtsson came free and shot a quick shot against goal 78 minutes in the game, fortunately Stefan Vik had problems saving as it came toward the left post. Kaj Sandström hit a great freekick 84 minutes into the match. Charles Lundhberg struck a weak shot in the 85th minute. Rudolf Arvidsson didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for FC Bortrekrysset. Rune Björkdahl hit a great freekick 88 minutes into the match. If Alf Spetz had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 92nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. An unexpectedly hard shot by Martin Holmgren in the 96th minute of play forced Surte FK's goalkeeper Rudolf Arvidsson to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. There were very few away supporters still in the ground by the end of the match. Most of them had left early, disgusted by the way their team had been torn apart. FC Bortrekrysset fully deserved thier win.
