Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Evert Bergren started the match with the kick off. The supporters of Tenstakamraterna FF booed when AC Milan was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 2 match minutes in a wonderful position. Fredric Lundin didn't get a good kick on the ball. 9 minutes had been played when some careless play by AC Milan's defense caused the ball to cross the line for a corner. Jonatan Stigsson was slow to take the kick. During this time Tenstakamraterna FF's players had a chance to rest.

In the 44th minute the ball was on its way in behind Tenstakamraterna FF's goalkeeper Göran Giöck, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar.
