Håkan Holmstedt 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. The first half was very even, with the score at 1-1 when the whistle went for half-time. The players welcomed the break and quickly retired to the dressing rooms.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Uno Pihlwall made a kick off. OFFDAHOOK's Lennart Rydelius shoveled away a really nice long shot in the 54th minute of play. The shot was stopped by Sven-Edvin Drewitz but with some difficulty. Andy Lind could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 56th minute of the match, but Sven-Edvin Drewitz made a huge save.

In the 67th match minute, OFFDAHOOK was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Georg Jonasson to maneuver through the defense. Uno Pihlwall blasted a shot towards the goal in the 70th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Sven-Edvin Drewitz having to make a save. 74 minutes into the match, OFFDAHOOK's goal looked a bit too open when Håkan Holmstedt came free, but Kaj Ahlroht reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Thanks to some nice foot action and superb ball handling Egon Holmgren in the 81st minute a chance for a shot on goal. With an extended leg and a bit of luck Kaj Ahlroht prevented the ball from getting in the gole. After a defensive mix-up in Kallinge IF's zone, Uno Pihlwall stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Sven-Edvin Drewitz came out of the goal and Uno Pihlwall tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Sven-Edvin Drewitz made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Andy Lind in the 90th minute of play. Andy Lind scored 1-3 in the 90th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Sven-Edvin Drewitz, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. An unexpected shot in the 95th minute by Uno Pihlwall got the crowd on their feet, but to their dismay it went out on the left side. When the referee blew the final whistle jeers and boos were heard from the home team's supporters. They were angered to see Kallinge IF lose a match they had controlled from the kick-off.
