Spectators: 7816 (Terracing: 5864, Seating: 1797, VIP seats: 155) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Edgar Ferm got the match started through his kick off. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Vilhelm Mjølner in the 6th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Rolf Pettersson saved Fusk&Bygg AB from getting behind. The Northmen Army were furious when Göran Alström was red carded, 8 minutes into the game, but the referee dismissed their protests. 7 minutes into the game, one of The Northmen Army:s players got tackled near the goal, and the referee blew for a penalty. Emil Hafström had in the 9thth minute some difficulties stopping Pär Kinnman's well aimed penalty as it nearly passed him on his left side, but he still managed to hold the ball. When Pär Kinnman came up free with the goalie in the 13th minute, the Fusk&Bygg AB 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 Pär Kinnman couldn't finish the play. Torgny Samuelsson kicked well hit freekick during the 16th minute of the match. The crowd rose to their feet as Stig Lindqvist kicked a wonderful shot that went in to the left of a diving Rolf Pettersson. That made the score 1-0 in the 19 minute of play.

A very good chance for a goal. 29 minutes into the match, Pär Kinnman notched a goal, 1-1, to the right of The Northmen Army's Emil Hafström.
