Spectators: 159 (Terracing: 120, Seating: 36, VIP seats: 3) Filip Fink started the match with the kick off in front of an excited audience. In the 9th minute the ball was on its way in behind Järbo's goalkeeper Johan Rudberg, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Johan Rudberg didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Sivert Sill went, in the 10th minute, to the upper right corner, 0-1 was the resulting score. In a very dangerous position, a player in Elefanterna fell when an opponent tried to get the ball from him in the 16th minute. Penalty! Axel Häll went to the wrong direction when Osvald Arvidsson was taking care of the penalty kick which however missed the goal. Karl-Åke Billing had several of the Elefanterna's defenders around him in the penalty area when he, after 23 minutes of play, received a pass and succeeded in some way to shoot a shot which went straight ahead into goal. This resulted in a 1-2 score and a disappointed Axel Häll as he didn't even see the shot coming. If Sivert Sill had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 26th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 27th minute Sivert Sill shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Johan Rudberg saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line.

Filip Fink fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 48th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Johan Rudberg having to interfere. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 1-3 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

Järbo's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Sture Stare was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 1-4. If Filip Fink had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 69th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.

The crowd rose to their feet as Filip Fink kicked a wonderful shot that went in to the left of a diving Johan Rudberg. That made the score 1-6 in the 86 minute of play. 91 minutes into the match, Sivert Sill notched a goal, 1-7, to the right of Järbo's Johan Rudberg. Johan Rudberg was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it.
