After a rather tough play, FC ILIRIA's Tage Bållström got a free kick in the 8th minute.

He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in Åhus Absolut F.C reached it. Bello Bonk hit a great freekick 25 minutes into the match. Lars Julin was probably a little too eager to shoot when he, in the 26th played minute, shot the ball from way out. The shot was hard, but the ball flew wide of the goal.

Tage Bållström kicked well hit freekick during the 32nd minute of the match. In the 33rd minute Lars Julin shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Karl Bank saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line.

Torbjörn Biörk kicked well hit freekick during the 64th minute of the match. 71 minutes into the match, Åhus Absolut F.C's goal looked a bit too open when Jimmy Bröms came free, but Jan-Åke Juhlin reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. After 79 minutes of play, Åhus Absolut F.C's King Skott made it 1-2 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Karl Bank was left in no man's land by his defense there! In the 84th minute of the match, King Skott got a very nice opportunity to score, but Karl Bank was well-placed and pushed the ball away from the goal at the left post.

Viktor Boman recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 87th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal.

A collision led to FC ILIRIA getting a freekick after 94 minutes play. Viktor Boman hit a great ball. After a defensive mix-up in FC ILIRIA's zone, Leo Ström stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Karl Bank came out of the goal and Leo Ström tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Jeers came from both ends of the stadium when the final whistle went. Neither team had looked impressive and the draw seeemd a fair result.
