Spectators: 7707 (Terracing: 5782, Seating: 1772, VIP seats: 153) Westra Aros SK's Bror Beck started the match with a crisp pass. The crowd had been anticipating this game for weeks and the excitement in the stadium was easily visible. In the 3rd minute, Andreas Bollström hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. After a rather tough play, CF REALCipri's Lucian Daraban got a free kick in the 12th minute. Don Nickler recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 19th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. If Alvin Söderkvist had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 24th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Don Nickler scored 0-1 in the 26th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Gigel Petculescu, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. 30 minutes into the match, Don Nickler had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Gigel Petculescu. CF REALCipri's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Don Nickler was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-2. When Don Nickler came up free with the goalie in the 33rd minute, the Westra Aros SK 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 Don Nickler couldn't finish the play. Don Nickler took the ball and in the 37 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Gigel Petculescu. Gigel Petculescu dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 0-3. The supporters of CF REALCipri booed when Westra Aros SK was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 40 match minutes in a wonderful position. Alvin Söderkvist didn't get a good kick on the ball. 41 minutes into the match, Westra Aros SK's goal looked a bit too open when Nicodim Ozon came free, but Ivan Västlund reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. In the 43rd minute, Don Nickler made a precise shot to the right of Gigel Petculescu. CF REALCipri's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 0-4. Gigel Petculescu took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Bror Beck, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Luck had favoured the away team in the first, and they walked off with a 0-4 lead.

Nicodim Ozon kicked well hit freekick during the 51st minute of the match. In the 54th minute Pompiliu Prisecaru shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Ivan Västlund saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Pompiliu Prisecaru hit a great freekick 59 minutes into the match. Leif Lindström hit a great freekick 61 minutes into the match. The audience was convinced that Nicodim Ozon's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Ivan Västlund was relentless in the 74th minute of the game. When Pompiliu Prisecaru came up free with the goalie in the 84th minute, the CF REALCipri 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 Pompiliu Prisecaru couldn't finish the play. An unexpectedly hard shot by Nicodim Ozon in the 86th minute of play forced Westra Aros SK's goalkeeper Ivan Västlund to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. After 88 minutes Westra Aros SK's defender was forced to head the ball over the line for a corner. It was Rareș Vulturar who took care of the corner kick. A well-hit corner resulted in Codrin Stan heading the ball towards the goal, but to his dismay he misdirected it and missed the goal completely. A nice corner shot did that Rareș Vulturar got away a dangerous shot. Despite this Ivan Västlund quite easily got ahold of the ball to make the save. The away crowd were delighted with the way their team had played and cheered loudly when the final whistle sounded. Westra Aros SK walked away with the win, even though the match was close until the end.
