Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Frank Hake made the kick off which started today's match. 5 minutes into the game, one of Ljung:s players got tackled near the goal, and the referee blew for a penalty. Fritz Stenquist kicked well hit freekick during the 10th minute of the match. In the 11th minute of the match Svante Dalman shot from a long distance. The ball could have gone into the goal to the right of the goalkeeper, but Markus Vassenius showed his good shape when he easily got hold of the ball. After having played for 13 minutes, Örjan Wennersten managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Sollebrunn's supporters crossed their fingers, but Örjan Wennersten was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. In the 18th minute, Ljung's Frank Hake ran free of his marker and smoothly shot the ball into the goal behind Daniel Carlberg. Daniel Carlberg yelled at his defense, as they had left him out to dry. 1-0. 26 minutes into the match, Sollebrunn's Örjan Wennersten sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Markus Vassenius narrowly saved just below the crossbar. Ture Böcklund hit a great freekick 27 minutes into the match. 34 minutes into the match, Ljung's goal looked a bit too open when Elliott Granberg came free, but Markus Vassenius reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. If Hans Berglund had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 45th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Af the end of the first half the score was 1-0. The first half had gone as expected for the home team.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Elliott Granberg made a kick off. When Örjan Wennersten came up free with the goalie in the 51st minute, the Sollebrunn fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Örjan Wennersten couldn't finish the play. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Elliott Granberg in the 53rd managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Markus Vassenius saved Ljung from getting behind. Markus Vassenius took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Elliott Granberg, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Hans Berglund received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 58th minute. Daniel Carlberg tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. An unexpectedly hard shot by Frank Hake in the 60th minute of play forced Sollebrunn's goalkeeper Daniel Carlberg to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Hans Berglund received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 62nd minute. Daniel Carlberg tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. 2-0 became the score in the 64th minute when Frank Hake elegantly shot the ball into goal just under the crossbar. After 70 minutes, Christian Heggert mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Sollebrunn and the Ljung players grew even worse after the yellow card. After a rather tough play, Sollebrunn's Christian Heggert got a free kick in the 70th minute. In the 71st minute, Hans Berglund left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Ljung fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 3-0. In the 75th minute Frank Hake shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Daniel Carlberg saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. The referee blew his whistle, and the match came to a close. The players exchanged shirts and headed down the tunnel. The Ljung fans cheered their team off the field, for while Sollebrunn had put up a good fight, they were unable to come out of the game with any points to show for their effort.
