Bengt Hamberg started the match with the kick off. Henry Nyberg hit a great freekick 3 minutes into the match. Joel Gaona was probably a little too eager to shoot when he, in the 4th played minute, shot the ball from way out. The shot was hard, but the ball flew wide of the goal. In the 8th minute Joel Gaona shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Malcolm Kruuse saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Lautaro Mancebo fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 10th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Malcolm Kruuse having to interfere.

JKs Talanger's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Facundo Cadaval was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-2.
