Spectators: 5000 (Terracing: 4000, Seating: 1000, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Stig Björkdal took the kick off in the first half of the match. The audience was convinced that Kjell Holmberg's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Otto Apelquist was relentless in the 4th minute of the game. In the 5th minute, Lotorp RK's Stig Björkdal ran free of his marker and smoothly shot the ball into the goal behind Erling Löfkvist. Erling Löfkvist yelled at his defense, as they had left him out to dry. 1-0. In the 11th minute the ball was on its way in behind Åled's goalkeeper Erling Löfkvist, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. When the match had gone on for 15 minutes, Stig Björkdal took a quick shot and it went in 2-0 without a chance for Erling Löfkvist to make any attempt to save it. After a defensive mix-up in Åled's zone, Esbjörn Hägglund stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Erling Löfkvist came out of the goal and Esbjörn Hägglund tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play.
