Spectators: 5001 (Terracing: 4000, Seating: 1001, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Kjell Vennerlund started the match with the kick off. Svenstavik's Elliot Blom proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 2nd minute of the match, managed to save Svenstavik from getting a goal against them. Elliot Blom made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Victor Jernberg in the 8th minute of play. In the 12th minute, Svenstavik's goalie took a deep sigh of relief after Arvin Harlén fired away a hard shot that went just outside the left post. Victor Jernberg fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 14th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Elliot Blom having to interfere. 16 minutes into the match, Linghed BF's goal looked a bit too open when Kjell Vennerlund came free, but Bo Håkansson reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. The audience thought a goal was coming when Arvin Harlén got free with Elliot Blom in the 22nd minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. 24 minutes into the match, Manfred Hedling notched a goal, 0-1, to the right of Linghed BF's Bo Håkansson. Bo Håkansson was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. After 29 played minutes Linghed BF got a freekick which was hit by Karl-Axel Sandström. Tim Lidström, 30 minutes into the match, dribbled the ball up the side of the field and decided to take a long shot at the goal. Unfortunately, the ball was poorly hit and landed closer to the corner than to the goal. After 42 minutes of play, Linghed BF's Arvin Harlén made it 1-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Elliot Blom was left in no man's land by his defense there! 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.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Victor Jernberg stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. If Manfred Hedling had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 52nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Bo Håkansson showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Kjell Vennerlund in the 53rd minute of the match. After 56 minutes of play, Svenstavik's Manfred Hedling made it 1-2 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net.

Carl Jakobsson hit a great freekick 79 minutes into the match. Bo Håkansson made a fantastic save in the 82nd minute, when Manfred Hedling sent off a good shot on target. The supporters of Svenstavik booed when Linghed BF was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 89 match minutes in a wonderful position. Carl Jakobsson didn't get a good kick on the ball. Kjell Vennerlund fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 93rd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Bo Håkansson having to interfere. In the 94th minute, Karl-Axel Sandström hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. A nice corner shot did that Tim Lidström got away a dangerous shot. Despite this Bo Håkansson quite easily got ahold of the ball to make the save. When the referee blew the final whistle, you could see the dissatisfaction in the Svenstavik players' eyes. They were disappointed they hadn't taken more from the game.
