Spectators: 7285 (Terracing: 5466, Seating: 1675, VIP seats: 144) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Mats Martinsson started the match with the kick off. Rolf Vidman stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Fredrik Hurtig's shot from short distance in the 6th minute. Thanks to some nice foot action and superb ball handling Mark Abrahamsson in the 8th minute a chance for a shot on goal. With an extended leg and a bit of luck Rolf Vidman prevented the ball from getting in the gole. Mårten Abrahamsson's late challenge caught a FC IBRA's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Mårten Abrahamsson helped the player get up and apologised. After some fancy dribbling in the 11th minute, Fredrik Hurtig managed to get in a good position for a shot. FC IBRA's supporters rose to their feet, but Fredrik Hurtig was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Rolf Vidman breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Ängelholm's Johannes Ahlén got a good chance for a goal in the 14th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. 16 minutes into the match, Mats Martinsson dribbled the ball past the defender and swiftly kicked the ball to the left of Nils Fastesson, 1-0. After some fancy dribbling in the 27th minute, Mats Martinsson managed to get in a good position for a shot. Ängelholm's supporters rose to their feet, but Mats Martinsson was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Nils Fastesson breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Johannes Ahlén struck a weak shot in the 29th minute. Nils Fastesson didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Ängelholm. Mark Abrahamsson scored 1-1 in the 32nd match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Rolf Vidman, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. After a defensive mix-up in FC IBRA's zone, Mats Martinsson stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Nils Fastesson came out of the goal and Mats Martinsson tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Johannes Ahlén recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 43rd minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. After the first half the score was level. The break gave the players a chance to catch their breath, whilst the managers went over the tactics with them again.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Mark Abrahamsson to make the kick off. In the 55th play minute Fredrik Hurtig came free and shot an unsuspected shot which went into goal from the right pole behind a surprised Rolf Vidman. 1-2. Fredrik Hurtig could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 64th minute of the match, but Rolf Vidman made a huge save. Mats Martinsson fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 66th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Nils Fastesson having to interfere. When Mark Abrahamsson came up free with the goalie in the 69th minute, the FC IBRA 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 Mark Abrahamsson couldn't finish the play. With a little luck, Ängelholm's Rolf Vidman got control of the ball when Fredrik Hurtig tried to sneak it across the goal line. 78 minutes into the game, Johannes Ahlén cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 2-3. Nils Fastesson was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. Mark Abrahamsson sent away a hard shot on goal in the 82nd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. If Johannes Ahlén had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 84th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. The FC IBRA players were relieved to hear the final whistle blow to end the match. The away crowd was happy to see their team win after a very tight game.
