After 23 played minutes, Hägersten's Joseph Ahlström shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Humberto Ostargi came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in Hägersten reached it. Nouman Faris took the ball and in the 28 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Humberto Ostargi. Humberto Ostargi 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.

Instead the ball went too high, a missed opportunity for Hägersten. In the 40th minute Torbjörn Bengtsson shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Humberto Ostargi saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line.
