He stayed cool and waited for the goalkeeper to move, before he confidently shot the ball into the goal, to the left of André Vaade. Stephen Kæreby came out of the goal in the 83rd minute to try and stop a shot by Lerte's Gabriel Nasgård.

The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Tonni Hutters struck a weak shot in the 92nd minute. André Vaade didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Nejlinge FC. Øjvind Biehl recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 94th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. With a little luck, Lerte's André Vaade got control of the ball when Tonni Hutters tried to sneak it across the goal line.
