Spectators: 36 (Terracing: 28, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Georg Moberg took the kick off in the first half of the match. Peter Svanberg showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Jörgen Ekeroth in the 4th minute of the match. Peter Svanberg made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Peter Snell in the 6th minute of play. In the 9th minute the ball was on its way in behind FC Zenit Saint Petersburg's goalkeeper Zafer Hürsel, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. After 13 minutes of play, Black is Back's Georg Moberg made it 0-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Zafer Hürsel was left in no man's land by his defense there! Black is Back's Peter Svanberg proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 16th minute of the match, managed to save Black is Back from getting a goal against them. In the 21st minute, Björn Ström 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. If Georg Moberg had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 29th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Sebastian Hedlund kicked well hit freekick during the 32nd minute of the match. 38 minutes into the match, Black is Back's goal looked a bit too open when Emanuel Emander came free, but Peter Svanberg reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Edvin Melhus fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 41st minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Zafer Hürsel having to interfere. With a little luck, Black is Back's Peter Svanberg got control of the ball when Håkan Kjellman tried to sneak it across the goal line. 46 minutes into the match, Black is Back's goalkeeper Peter Svanberg had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Peter Snell. Luck had favoured the away team in the first, and they walked off with a 0-1 lead.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Håkan Kjellman made a kick off. 52 minutes into the match, Black is Back's goal looked a bit too open when Emanuel Emander came free, but Peter Svanberg reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. 52 minutes into the match, Emanuel Emander notched a goal, 1-1, to the right of Black is Back's Peter Svanberg. Peter Svanberg was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Peter Snell in the 57th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Peter Svanberg saved Black is Back from getting behind. A nice corner shot did that Johannes Botvidsson got away a dangerous shot. Despite this Peter Svanberg quite easily got ahold of the ball to make the save. An unexpectedly hard shot by Håkan Kjellman in the 60th minute of play forced Black is Back's goalkeeper Peter Svanberg to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Björn Ström could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 68th minute of the match, but Zafer Hürsel made a huge save. After 68 played minutes Björn Ström rounded FC Zenit Saint Petersburg's defense and shot a beautiful shot into goal via left pole - 1-2. FC Zenit Saint Petersburg's Valentin Ivarsson was substituted for Emanuel Emander. Zafer Hürsel made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Edvin Melhus in the 73rd minute of play. In the 75th minute Valentin Ivarsson shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Peter Svanberg saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. In the 79th minute, Johannes Botvidsson hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. After a defensive mix-up in FC Zenit Saint Petersburg's zone, Edvin Melhus stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Zafer Hürsel came out of the goal and Edvin Melhus tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Peter Svanberg took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Peter Snell, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. In the 94th minute, Peter Snell left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The FC Zenit Saint Petersburg fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 2-3. The away crowd were delighted with the way their team had played and cheered loudly when the final whistle sounded. Black is Back walked away with the win, even though the match was close until the end.
