After some fancy dribbling in the 72nd minute, Alfie Solomons managed to get in a good position for a shot. Köppa BK's supporters rose to their feet, but Alfie Solomons was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Melker Odin breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. When Alfie Solomons came up free with the goalie in the 75th minute, the Köppa BK fans jumped to their feet.
