Spectators: 7515 (Terracing: 5637, Seating: 1728, VIP seats: 150) István Tulipán started the match with the kick off in front of an excited audience. After 4 minutes, István Tulipán mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Szajk LC and the Real Calle players grew even worse after the yellow card. István Tulipán kicked well hit freekick during the 4th minute of the match. Álmos Simon showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Andreas Mossberg, who was totally free with the ball in the 5th minute. In the 9th minute of the match, István Tulipán got a very nice opportunity to score, but Maximilian Skoglund was well-placed and pushed the ball away from the goal at the left post. Brúnó Jánosi fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 10th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Maximilian Skoglund having to interfere. Szajk LC's Álmos Simon played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Andreas Mossberg in the 14th minute of play. In the 16thth minute of the game Andreas Mossberg who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Szajk LC's Álmos Simon was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. 18 minutes into the match, István Tulipán notched a goal, 1-0, to the right of Real Calle's Maximilian Skoglund. Maximilian Skoglund was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Maximilian Skoglund made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Brúnó Jánosi in the 20th minute of play. After a rather tough play, Real Calle's Wiktor Kjellbom got a free kick in the 23rd minute. Jack Holmstedt's late challenge caught a Szajk LC's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Jack Holmstedt helped the player get up and apologised. In the 30th minute, Jack Holmstedt hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. An unexpectedly hard shot by Brúnó Jánosi in the 31st minute of play forced Real Calle's goalkeeper Maximilian Skoglund to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. István Tulipán scored 2-0 in the 41st match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Maximilian Skoglund, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. Álmos Simon made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Andreas Mossberg in the 45th minute of play. No-one was surprised that the home team were leading 2-0 at half-time.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Andreas Mossberg to make the kick off. In the 52nd minute, Real Calle's Kenneth Bolin seemed to kick out at an opponent. The referee saw this and, surprisingly, showed Kenneth Bolin the red card, dismissing him from the pitch. The coaching staff of Real Calle protested bitterly, but the referee would have none of it, and Kenneth Bolin had no choice but to slowly walk off the pitch. Maximilian Skoglund had in the 54thth minute some difficulties stopping Ákos Szalontai's well aimed penalty as it nearly passed him on his left side, but he still managed to hold the ball. In the 67th minute, Wiktor Kjellbom got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. After some careless play in the Real Calle defense, István Tulipán kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Maximilian Skoglund. The Real Calle fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Maximilian Skoglund should have stopped the shot. A collision led to Real Calle getting a freekick after 74 minutes play. Sven-Edvin Ersman hit a great ball. 77 minutes into the match, Real Calle's goal looked a bit too open when Brúnó Jánosi came free, but Maximilian Skoglund reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. After 81 minutes of play, Szajk LC's István Tulipán made it 4-0 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Maximilian Skoglund was left in no man's land by his defense there! In the 95th minute Brúnó Jánosi shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Maximilian Skoglund saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. After some fancy dribbling in the 97th minute, Andreas Mossberg managed to get in a good position for a shot. Real Calle's supporters rose to their feet, but Andreas Mossberg was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Álmos Simon breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. For all the effort they put into the match, the Real Calle players left disappointed. They had fought hard, but couldn't break down the home team's defense. The match ended in a win for Szajk LC.
