Arena Sonstorp
Spectators: 152 (Terracing: 114, Seating: 35, VIP seats: 3) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Ulrik Isaksson took the kick off in the first half of the match. When Jim Påk fell near the penalty area in the 3rd minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Gräskraft BK's protests and gave Jim Påk a yellow card for diving instead. In the 4th minute there was a penalty for Sonstorps Fotboll. Adrian Vibjörnsson stepped forward and shot the ball to the right of a diving Henric Örn. 1-0. Olof Arvidsson struck a weak shot in the 6th minute. Henric Örn didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Sonstorps Fotboll. Orvar Gabrielsson took the ball and in the 14 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Jens-Ola Mellberg. Jens-Ola Mellberg dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 1-1. With an all-out effort, Sonstorps Fotboll's Henric Örn threw himself towards the right post 20 minutes into the match and grabbed hold of the ball from Ulrik Isaksson, which otherwise would have been placed in the net.

The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Andreas Hegg during the 35th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card.

Ulrik Isaksson received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 37th minute. Henric Örn tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. If Ulrik Isaksson had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 39th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. When Orvar Gabrielsson came up free with the goalie in the 40th minute, the Gräskraft BK 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 Orvar Gabrielsson couldn't finish the play. Henric Örn showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Ulrik Isaksson, who was totally free with the ball in the 43rd minute. No-one was surprised that the home team were leading 2-1 at half-time.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Orvar Gabrielsson stepped up to make the kick off in the second half.

A very good chance for a goal. Gräskraft BK's Henric Örn played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Ulrik Isaksson in the 65th minute of play. The audience was convinced that Ulrik Isaksson's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Henric Örn was relentless in the 65th minute of the game. An unexpectedly hard shot by Olof Arvidsson in the 68th minute of play forced Gräskraft BK's goalkeeper Henric Örn to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball.

With a couple of smart ball manuevers Ulrik Isaksson in the 76th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Henric Örn saved Gräskraft BK from getting behind.

They had fought hard, but couldn't break down the home team's defense. The match ended in a win for Sonstorps Fotboll.
