Spectators: 5000 (Terracing: 4000, Seating: 1000, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Jimmie Kaxe made the kick off which started today's match. Michael Ekerot's late challenge caught a Alstermo's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Michael Ekerot helped the player get up and apologised. In the 8th match minute, Alstermo was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Hugo Bengtsson to maneuver through the defense. Reine Säf showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Jimmie Kaxe, who was totally free with the ball in the 11th minute. An unexpected shot in the 15th minute by Emanuel Gullesson got the crowd on their feet, but to their dismay it went out on the left side. In the 16thth minute of the game Gilbert Enegren who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Alstermo's Reine Säf was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. If Jimmie Kaxe had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 19th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Emanuel Gullesson sent away a hard shot on goal in the 23rd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After 26 minutes of play, Vinterhagens IF's Jimmie Kaxe made it 0-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Reine Säf was left in no man's land by his defense there! Emanuel Gullesson received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 36th minute. Mats Stålman tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. In the 38th match minute, Vinterhagens IF was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Michael Ekerot to maneuver through the defense. After having played for 39 minutes, Bo Bergren managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal.

Emanuel Gullesson sent away a hard shot on goal in the 41st minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. Christopher Lindqvist hit a great freekick 42 minutes into the match. In the 45th minute Bo Bergren shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Mats Stålman saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. 46 minutes into the match, Vinterhagens IF's goalkeeper Mats Stålman had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Emanuel Gullesson. 47 minutes into the match, Bo Bergren dribbled the ball past the defender and swiftly kicked the ball to the left of Mats Stålman, 1-1. The score stood at 1-1 when the half time whistle went. Both sets of players seemed reasonably pleased with how the match was going.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Bo Bergren to make the kick off. Mats Stålman came out of the goal in the 55th minute to try and stop a shot by Alstermo's Bo Bergren. But to his dismay, Bo Bergren quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 2-1. Gilbert Enegren scored 2-2 in the 63rd match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Reine Säf, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. Reine Säf was in exellent shape and made a fantastic save when he, in the 69th minute of the match, managed to get hold of the ball after a long shot from Jens-Erik Jespersson. Bo Bergren took the ball and in the 70 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Mats Stålman. Mats Stålman dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 3-2.

Emanuel Gullesson received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 74th minute. Mats Stålman tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. In the 77th minute, Emanuel Gullesson made a precise shot to the right of Mats Stålman. Vinterhagens IF's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 4-2. Reine Säf made an important save on a dangerous shot by Gilbert Enegren in the 80th minute. Vinterhagens IF's Mats Stålman played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Emanuel Gullesson in the 83rd minute of play. Mats Stålman took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Emanuel Gullesson, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Mats Stålman showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Bo Bergren, who was totally free with the ball in the 92nd minute. Emanuel Gullesson fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 94th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Mats Stålman having to interfere. There were very few away supporters still in the ground by the end of the match. Most of them had left early, disgusted by the way their team had been torn apart. Alstermo fully deserved thier win.
