Spectators: 7243 (Terracing: 5433, Seating: 1666, VIP seats: 144) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Stig-Åke Finman took the kick off in the first half of the match. After a defensive mix-up in Rörvik RK's zone, Freddie Olenberg stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Petter Bratt came out of the goal and Freddie Olenberg tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. In the 9th minute, Jonathan Kollberg hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. 10 minutes into the match, Kulltorp's goal looked a bit too open when Henric Axelsson came free, but Tommy Wassenius reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. In the 13th minute, one of Rörvik RK: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 Rörvik RK. Jonathan Kollberg shot the penalty kick right outside the post. Freddie Olenberg struck a weak shot in the 22nd minute. Petter Bratt didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Kulltorp.

After 29 minutes of play, Rörvik RK's Stig-Åke Finman made it 0-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net.

An unexpectedly hard shot by Freddie Olenberg in the 32nd minute of play forced Rörvik RK's goalkeeper Petter Bratt to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. The audience was convinced that Lennart Colin's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Tommy Wassenius was relentless in the 42nd minute of the game.

Tommy Wassenius was a little too slow when Stig-Åke Finman got a fine hit on the ball which went right into the goal in the 56th minute. The score was now 0-2. If Edward Arhenius had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 68th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.
