Herräng
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Robert Bjurström kicked off to start the match. Jens-Ove Engman showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Svante Lind in the 4th minute of the match. Timmy Odén sent away a hard shot on goal in the 6th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 14th minute, Tom Bolander hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Edgar Bratt took a chance and fired a shot far from the goal in the 16th minute, but it turned out to be a dangerous situation for Jens-Ove Engman. Herräng IF's goalkeeper really had to stretch himself to stop the ball from crossing the goal line. 21 minutes into the match, Herräng IF's goal looked a bit too open when Malcolm Kullander came free, but Jens-Ove Engman reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Svante Lind fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 24th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Jens-Ove Engman having to interfere. After 34 minutes, Malte Abrahamsson mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Herräng IF and the Venjan players grew even worse after the yellow card. After 33 minutes of play, the referee blew the whistle. It was a penalty for Herräng IF! Disappointed in the 0-1 score, the home team went to the dressing room to adjust tactics for the second half.

Venjan's Malcolm Kullander got a good chance for a goal in the 53rd minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. If Timmy Odén had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 57th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 58th minute, Alexander Uggstedt hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. In the 59th minute Svante Lind shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Jens-Ove Engman saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Robert Bjurström sent away a hard shot on goal in the 69th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Robert Bjurström in the 71st managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Joseph Lindgren saved Venjan from getting behind. Timmy Odén received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 73rd minute. Joseph Lindgren tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. In the 79th match minute, Herräng IF was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Victor Lönn to maneuver through the defense. Timmy Odén fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 84th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Joseph Lindgren having to interfere. If Malcolm Kullander had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 86th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. When Robert Bjurström came up free with the goalie in the 90th minute, the Herräng IF 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 Robert Bjurström couldn't finish the play. Svante Lind did some fancy footwork in front of goal and succeeded to deceive the defenders so he could slam the ball in 0-2 to the left of a surprised Jens-Ove Engman 94 minutes into the match. Malcolm Kullander received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 99th minute. Jens-Ove Engman tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. The Herräng IF supporters were disappointed that their team didn't take anything from the match, despite matching Venjan's performance. The match ended with a win for Venjan.
