Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) Jarl Vinström made the kick off and thus started the match. Thanks to some nice foot action and superb ball handling Yngve Nordal in the 5th minute a chance for a shot on goal. With an extended leg and a bit of luck Georg Åkerman prevented the ball from getting in the gole. After a defensive mix-up in Harplinge RK's zone, Yngve Nordal stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Georg Åkerman came out of the goal and Yngve Nordal tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Ove Lundkvist made an important save on a dangerous shot by Gustav Ivarsson in the 12th minute. Yngve Nordal might have been able to make a better finish in the 17th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Georg Åkerman. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Yngve Nordal ran back to his position shaking his head. Gustav Ivarsson charged in rather forcefully in the 18th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Gustav Ivarsson the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. If Sven Eckegren had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 24th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Georg Åkerman took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Yngve Nordal, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Jojjen Bois's attacker deliberately struck the ball against an opponent to win a corner for his team. The corner was taken by Mattias Boberg in the 30th minute. The corner ended in Mattias Boberg almost managing to get the ball behind the net, but Harplinge RK's Georg Åkerman did a great save. An unexpectedly hard shot by Yngve Nordal in the 34th minute of play forced Harplinge RK's goalkeeper Georg Åkerman to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. When the match had gone on for 35 minutes, Edvard Nyberg put it in 0-1 from a short distance just to the right of Georg Åkerman. Georg Åkerman made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Yngve Nordal in the 43rd minute of play. In the 45th minute, Yngve Nordal left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Jojjen Bois fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 0-2. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 0-2 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

The wind increased when Yngve Nordal made the kick off in the second half. Yngve Nordal recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 53rd minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. In the 54th minute, Edvard Nyberg made a precise shot to the right of Georg Åkerman. Harplinge RK's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 0-3. The audience thought a goal was coming when Yngve Nordal got free with Georg Åkerman in the 59th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. With an all-out effort, Jojjen Bois's Georg Åkerman threw himself towards the right post 60 minutes into the match and grabbed hold of the ball from Henrik Lundqvist, which otherwise would have been placed in the net. Ove Lundkvist showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Jarl Vinström in the 63rd minute of the match. If Yngve Nordal had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 70th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Sven Eckegren succeeded to score despite a near miss that spronge from right pole into the goal to 0-5 in the 81st playminute. The referee blew the whistle for a penalty in the 85th minute of the game. One of Harplinge RK:s players had nearly got his shirt torn off by an opponent while getting free in front of Jojjen Bois:s goal. The goalkeeper, Georg Åkerman, was totally fooled by Jojjen Bois's Mattias Boberg, who 87 minutes into the game made a penalty shot that went in on the goalkeeper's left side. In the 89th minute, Yngve Nordal left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Jojjen Bois fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 0-7. Jojjen Bois played a much better game than Harplinge RK and deserved their victory. The Harplinge RK players were clearly disappointed as they left the ground.
