Michael Malmström took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Bertil Åström, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side.

Michael Malmström was in the perfect position, and the defense had done a good job marking him, but Åke Jansson showcased his skills and made a perfect shot to score 2-0 in the 20 minute of play. After a defensive mix-up in Linghed Angels FC's zone, Åke Jansson stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat.

In the 77th minute Gabriel Odeen shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Michael Malmström saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Gabriel Odeen recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 80th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. When Rickard Viberg was, once again, overly rough in his play he received his second yellow card and was ordered off the ground. 82 minutes had been played. If Anders Lindsten had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 89th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Zero Hedge's fans were exulted and cheered after their team won in a match that could easily have gone the other way.
