Spectators: 144 (Terracing: 109, Seating: 33, VIP seats: 2) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Gert Norström took the kick off in the first half of the match. Rickard Ugla recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 7th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. If Karl-Ove Jansson had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 14th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 17 minutes into the match, Gärsnäs BF's Gert Norström sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Uno Andreasson narrowly saved just below the crossbar. Leonardo Ånger scored 0-2 in the 22nd match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Uno Andreasson, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. After 26 minutes of play, Gärsnäs BF's Rickard Ugla made it 0-3 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Uno Andreasson was left in no man's land by his defense there! Joel Wall made an important save on a dangerous shot by Karl-Ove Jansson in the 29th minute. In the 29th minute, Balders Hage IF's Karl-Ove Jansson dribbled the ball into the box and hit a shot with the outside of his foot, sending the keeper the wrong way. 1-3. After some fancy dribbling in the 32nd minute, Karl-Ove Jansson managed to get in a good position for a shot. Balders Hage IF's supporters rose to their feet, but Karl-Ove Jansson was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Joel Wall breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. In the 39th minute there was a penalty for Gärsnäs BF. Gert Norström stepped forward and shot the ball to the right of a diving Uno Andreasson. 1-4. After a rather tough play, Balders Hage IF's Nils-Erik Brask got a free kick in the 45th minute. Balders Hage IF's Uno Andreasson played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Mikael Arvidsson in the 48th minute of play. The crowd was extremely unhappy with the home team's performance in the first half. They were losing 1-4.

In the 54th match minute, Balders Hage IF was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Krister Ekeberg to maneuver through the defense. Gert Norström sent away a hard shot on goal in the 58th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 62nd minute, Per-Åke Boklund hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Gert Norström was probably a little too eager to shoot when he, in the 63rd played minute, shot the ball from way out. The shot was hard, but the ball flew wide of the goal. 65 minutes into the match, Gert Norström notched a goal, 1-5, to the right of Balders Hage IF's Uno Andreasson. Uno Andreasson was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. The audience thought a goal was coming when Gert Norström got free with Uno Andreasson in the 69th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. Karl-Ove Jansson fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 73rd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Joel Wall having to interfere. When Alvin Forsell fell near the penalty area in the 81st minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Balders Hage IF's protests and gave Alvin Forsell a yellow card for diving instead. Alvin Forsell kicked well hit freekick during the 81st minute of the match. In the 85th minute, Gärsnäs BF's Rickard Ugla dribbled the ball into the box and hit a shot with the outside of his foot, sending the keeper the wrong way. 1-6. 93 minutes into the match, Balders Hage IF's goal looked a bit too open when Mikael Arvidsson came free, but Uno Andreasson reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. If Gert Norström had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 94th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.
