Gavino Manny made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Kristoffer Vester in the 2nd minute of play. It was a well-played corner which Sune Bålström managed to volley towards the net. Unfortunately, he didn't get a great hit on the ball and it went out into the grandstand. In the 10th minute AIF were awarded a corner. Birger Engström went to the cornerflag to take it. A nice corner shot did that Birger Engström got away a dangerous shot. Despite this Gavino Manny quite easily got ahold of the ball to make the save. A hard shot 12 in the game by 汪希瑜 from a close distance when the talented Gavino Manny managed to make a qualified save.
