When Orvar Rydelius fell near the penalty area in the 4th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored chelsea's protests and gave Orvar Rydelius a yellow card for diving instead. The supporters of Vrigstad RK booed when chelsea was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 4 match minutes in a wonderful position. Orvar Rydelius didn't get a good kick on the ball. In the 19th minute Knut Arvidsson shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Gert Asserlindh saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. 29 minutes into the match, Vrigstad RK's Gustaf Tillman sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Åke Ingvall narrowly saved just below the crossbar. 32 minutes into the match, chelsea's goal looked a bit too open when Gustaf Tillman came free, but Åke Ingvall reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Hjalmar Lövskog to strike the kick off in the second half. After some fancy dribbling in the 53rd minute, Knut Arvidsson managed to get in a good position for a shot. chelsea's supporters rose to their feet, but Knut Arvidsson was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Gert Asserlindh breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. chelsea's attacker deliberately struck the ball against an opponent to win a corner for his team. The corner was taken by Gunnar Zachrisson in the 62nd minute. After a defensive mix-up in chelsea's zone, Gustaf Tillman stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Åke Ingvall came out of the goal and Gustaf Tillman tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. When Hjalmar Lövskog came up free with the goalie in the 71st minute, the Vrigstad RK 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 Hjalmar Lövskog couldn't finish the play.
