Spectators: 7580 (Terracing: 5790, Seating: 1775, VIP seats: 15) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Krister Dahlberg made the kick off which started today's match. When Folke Kilström fell near the penalty area in the 4th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Arvika BF's protests and gave Folke Kilström a yellow card for diving instead. Nae Ionescu was astounded when the referee showed him the red card after a seemingly innocent challenge, 6 minutes into the match. In the 5th minute, one of Arvika BF: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 Arvika BF. Ströms Diamonds's attacker deliberately struck the ball against an opponent to win a corner for his team. The corner was taken by Dodi Darodjatun in the 8th minute. Dodi Darodjatun made a great header on Ströms Diamonds's corner, it was just that Arvika BF's Higino Conde managed to reach the ball for a save. After a rather tough play, Ströms Diamonds's Cafer İzzettin got a free kick in the 9th minute. The audience thought a goal was coming when Oscar Igelström got free with Higino Conde in the 10th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. An unexpectedly hard shot by Örjan Falkrantz in the 11th minute of play forced Ströms Diamonds's goalkeeper Pelle Möllgren to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Higino Conde made a fantastic save in the 13th minute, when Oscar Igelström sent off a good shot on target. Higino Conde was out of position in the 17 minute of play, and Oscar Igelström capitalized on the mistake with a soft shot into the goal. Oscar Igelström really showed his touch with that goal: 1-0. A collision led to Ströms Diamonds getting a freekick after 26 minutes play. Anders Sjöberg hit a great ball. An unexpectedly hard shot by Frans Johansson in the 33rd minute of play forced Arvika BF's goalkeeper Higino Conde to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. If Frans Johansson had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 34th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. With an all-out effort, Ströms Diamonds's Higino Conde threw himself towards the right post 34 minutes into the match and grabbed hold of the ball from Frans Johansson, which otherwise would have been placed in the net. Higino Conde took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Frans Johansson, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. After 42 played minutes Arvika BF got a freekick which was hit by Örjan Falkrantz. In the 43rd minute, Frans Johansson left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net.

Arvika BF's Higino Conde proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 46th minute of the match, managed to save Arvika BF from getting a goal against them. The home fans were very happy to see their team leading 2-0 at half-time.

After having played for 51 minutes, Magne Blom managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Arvika BF's supporters crossed their fingers, but Magne Blom was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. In the 60th minute Magne Blom shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Pelle Möllgren saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. An unexpectedly hard shot by Frans Johansson in the 66th minute of play forced Arvika BF's goalkeeper Higino Conde to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Oscar Igelström took the ball and in the 67 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Higino Conde. Higino Conde dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 3-0. After 70 played minutes Arvika BF got a freekick which was hit by Jonas Ståhlberg. When Dodi Darodjatun came up free with the goalie in the 71st minute, the Ströms Diamonds fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Dodi Darodjatun couldn't finish the play. 72 minutes into the game, one of Arvika BF:s players got tackled near the goal, and the referee blew for a penalty. With a little luck, Ströms Diamonds's Pelle Möllgren got control of the ball when Magne Blom tried to sneak it across the goal line.

After recieving a nice pass, Arvika BF's Fabian Christoffersen tried to score from far away in the 84th minute, but the ball went over the crossbar. If Oscar Igelström had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 86th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.
