Spectators: 161 (Terracing: 121, Seating: 37, VIP seats: 3) Segelbut IF U21's Sverker Lenberg started the match with a crisp pass. The crowd had been anticipating this game for weeks and the excitement in the stadium was easily visible. After 8 minutes, Rasmus Sigfridsson mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Meadow Village and the Segelbut IF U21 players grew even worse after the yellow card. Rasmus Sigfridsson hit a great freekick 8 minutes into the match. Patrik Rosén was probably a little too eager to shoot when he, in the 9th played minute, shot the ball from way out. The shot was hard, but the ball flew wide of the goal. It was a well-played corner which Sven-Åke Finnman managed to volley towards the net. Unfortunately, he didn't get a great hit on the ball and it went out into the grandstand. A collision led to Meadow Village getting a freekick after 16 minutes play. Staffan Deckbergh hit a great ball. In the 17th minute, Patrik Rosén got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. Meadow Village's Henry Vall played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Dag Harman in the 19th minute of play. Gustav Vollander showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Stellan Lundström, who was totally free with the ball in the 21st minute. An unexpectedly hard shot by Jerry Stenqvist in the 25th minute of play forced Segelbut IF U21's goalkeeper Gustav Vollander to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. 26 minutes into the match, Meadow Village's goal looked a bit too open when Johan Sjöberg came free, but Henry Vall reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.

In the 36th minute, Dag Harman left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Segelbut IF U21 fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 0-1. If Boban Bobanović had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 39th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 44 minutes into the game, Boban Bobanović was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Segelbut IF U21's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Meadow Village the free kick. After a rather tough play, Segelbut IF U21's Boban Bobanović got a free kick in the 44th minute.

The crowd was extremely unhappy with the home team's performance in the first half. They were losing 0-2.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Eric Lindblom stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. The audience thought a goal was coming when Frans Ahlrot got free with Henry Vall in the 54th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. Meadow Village's Henry Vall proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 56th minute of the match, managed to save Meadow Village from getting a goal against them.

Through an outstanding action, after 65 minutes, Henry Vall successfully got his hands on the ball before it slid into the goal at the right post.

But to his dismay, Frans Ahlrot quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 0-3. Edward Ivarsson kicked well hit freekick during the 80th minute of the match. A hard shot by Patrik Rosén from long distance, 81 minutes into the match, got Henry Vall's attention. Through a fast twist with his body, he could stop the ball from going in on his right side.

During the 91st minute of the match Boban Bobanović completely mistimed his tackle and brought down his opponent. The referee gave Boban Bobanović a yellow card, his second in the match, which meant he could no longer take part in the game. The supporters of Meadow Village booed when Segelbut IF U21 was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 92 match minutes in a wonderful position. Boban Bobanović didn't get a good kick on the ball. When Otto Hermansson came up free with the goalie in the 93rd minute, the Meadow Village 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 Otto Hermansson couldn't finish the play. Segelbut IF U21 played a much better game than Meadow Village and deserved their victory. The Meadow Village players were clearly disappointed as they left the ground.
