Spectators: 154 (Terracing: 116, Seating: 35, VIP seats: 3) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Jörgen Bjurström took the kick off in the first half of the match. Jörgen Bjurström scored 0-2 in the 7th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Jan Puchlik, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. When Edvin Bergkvist fell near the penalty area in the 10th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Nils Liedholm IF's protests and gave Edvin Bergkvist a yellow card for diving instead. The supporters of AS Monaco FC booed when Nils Liedholm IF was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 11 match minutes in a wonderful position. Edvin Bergkvist didn't get a good kick on the ball. In the 15th minute Zebastian Österlund shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Jan Puchlik saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Jan Puchlik showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Kalle Norström, who was totally free with the ball in the 16th minute.

Dominik Piechna ran back to his position shaking his head. Radomil Biskupiak struck a weak shot in the 23rd minute.

A wasted opportunity for AS Monaco FC. 25 minutes into the game, Nils Liedholm IF's Jörgen Bjurström nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. Jan Puchlik made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 0-3. In the 32nd minute, Jörgen Bjurström hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. The audience was convinced that Jörgen Bjurström's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Jan Puchlik was relentless in the 34th minute of the game. Przemyslaw Panikowski's late challenge caught a Nils Liedholm IF's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Przemyslaw Panikowski helped the player get up and apologised. If Birger Kleen had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 41st minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. The crowd was extremely unhappy with the home team's performance in the first half. They were losing 0-3.
