Spectators: 7462 (Terracing: 5597, Seating: 1716, VIP seats: 149) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Arnaldo Tome started the match with the kick off. In the 4th minute Leandro Argi shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Pontus Lundin saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Wesley Cabrals short, quick shot in the 14thth minute got Baldomiro Elequemedo to make great effort and bar the ball away from getting in. 17 minutes into the match, Wesley Cabral had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Baldomiro Elequemedo. Pretorianos FC's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Wesley Cabral was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 1-1. Baldomiro Elequemedo showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Wesley Cabral in the 20th minute of the match. Leandro Argi fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 27th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Pontus Lundin having to interfere. In the last second Baldomiro Elequemedo throw himself and got hold of the ball when Wesley Cabral in the 29thth minute from his position got away a shot towards the right post. Porjus's attacker deliberately struck the ball against an opponent to win a corner for his team. The corner was taken by Bernt Ekberg in the 30th minute. Kristoffer Telin made a great header on Porjus's corner, it was just that Pretorianos FC's Baldomiro Elequemedo managed to reach the ball for a save. An unexpectedly hard shot by Arnaldo Tome in the 33rd minute of play forced Porjus's goalkeeper Pontus Lundin to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Baldomiro Elequemedo took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Albin Stolpe, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. When Kristoffer Telin fell near the penalty area in the 35th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Porjus's protests and gave Kristoffer Telin a yellow card for diving instead. Kristoffer Telin hit a great freekick 35 minutes into the match. A sloppy throw-in by Rikard Öberg in the 40th minute of the game went astray and was snapped up by Pretorianos FC's Dario Brion. With his leg Baldomiro Elequemedo managed to avoid a goal in the 46thth minute, when Porjus's Wesley Cabral fired away a shot with a lot of spin towards his right hand side. After fighting hard for a draw in the first half, the players were able to take a much needed rest.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Wesley Cabral made a kick off. Gavino Dalmai received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 57th minute. Pontus Lundin tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. The attack was good, but when Albin Stolpe in the 59th minute was about to shoot he didn't kick quite good enough and the ball went high over goal. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Albin Stolpe during the 66th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. After 66 played minutes Porjus got a freekick which was hit by Albin Stolpe. Gavino Dalmai blasted a shot towards the goal in the 69th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Pontus Lundin having to make a save. In the 70th minute, one of Pretorianos FC:s players had the ball in front of the goal but got pushed and fell. The referee felt it was an obvious case and blew a penalty for Pretorianos FC. Arnaldo Tome struck a weak shot in the 74th minute. Pontus Lundin didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Pretorianos FC. Bernt Ekberg charged in rather forcefully in the 81st minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Bernt Ekberg the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. Bernt Ekberg hit a great freekick 82 minutes into the match.
