Spectators: 7640 (Terracing: 5731, Seating: 1757, VIP seats: 152) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Michael Hoffmann got the match started through his kick off. A collision led to Dexiators getting a freekick after 3 minutes play. Tobias Göransson hit a great ball. An unexpectedly hard shot by Michael Hoffmann in the 4th minute of play forced Dexiators's goalkeeper Sven-Edvin Vedholm to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. In the 11th minute Christopher Schopp shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Sven-Edvin Vedholm saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. David Nitsch charged in rather forcefully in the 16th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed David Nitsch the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. 17 minutes into the match, FC Hollywood's goalkeeper Uli Kompa had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Bo Fribäck. In the 18th minute, FC Hollywood's Norman Jagusch seemed to kick out at an opponent. The referee saw this and, surprisingly, showed Norman Jagusch the red card, dismissing him from the pitch. The coaching staff of FC Hollywood protested bitterly, but the referee would have none of it, and Norman Jagusch had no choice but to slowly walk off the pitch. After 18 played minutes FC Hollywood got a freekick which was hit by Norman Jagusch. 19 minutes into the match, Dexiators's Tobias Göransson broke free and took a long shot that unfortunately flew wide. A fine initiative that could have resulted in a goal. Sven-Edvin Vedholm made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Michael Hoffmann in the 23rd minute of play. Michael Hoffmann sent away a hard shot on goal in the 25th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Uli Kompa came out of the goal in the 28th minute to try and stop a shot by Dexiators's Dick Brandt. But to his dismay, Dick Brandt quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 1-0. In the 33rd minute, Dexiators's Alfons Gallin dribbled the ball into the box and hit a shot with the outside of his foot, sending the keeper the wrong way. 2-0. After 44 minutes of play, Dexiators's Bertil Rönn made it 3-0 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Uli Kompa was left in no man's land by his defense there!

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Bo Fribäck stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. Uli Kompa showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Alfons Gallin in the 51st minute of the match. Emil Grelsson kicked well hit freekick during the 56th minute of the match. Dexiators's Sven-Edvin Vedholm proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 61st minute of the match, managed to save Dexiators from getting a goal against them. Uli Kompa made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Bertil Rönn in the 64th minute of play. 66 minutes into the match, FC Hollywood's goal looked a bit too open when Bo Fribäck came free, but Uli Kompa reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Östen Igelström during the 69th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. The supporters of FC Hollywood booed when Dexiators was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 69 match minutes in a wonderful position. Östen Igelström didn't get a good kick on the ball. A collision led to FC Hollywood getting a freekick after 70 minutes play. Tristan Waidler hit a great ball. Uli Kompa showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Alfons Gallin, who was totally free with the ball in the 71st minute. Christopher Schopp recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 75th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. If Bo Fribäck had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 83rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Dick Brandt received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 88th minute. Uli Kompa tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. There were very few away supporters still in the ground by the end of the match. Most of them had left early, disgusted by the way their team had been torn apart. Dexiators fully deserved thier win.
