Älvkarleby Stadion
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Konrad Alebeck took the kick off in the first half of the match. Anton Bålström was a little too slow when Konrad Alebeck got a fine hit on the ball which went right into the goal in the 3rd minute. The score was now 1-0. After 7 played minutes Vittsjö BF got a freekick which was hit by Henry Hedbom. Älvkarleby IK's Leonardo Lindman shoveled away a really nice long shot in the 8th minute of play. The shot was stopped by Anton Bålström but with some difficulty. Vittsjö BF's Anton Bålström played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Konrad Alebeck in the 10th minute of play. Anton Bålström didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Torgny Martinsson went, in the 19th minute, to the upper right corner, 2-0 was the resulting score. Michel Engström showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Johannes Nordal, who was totally free with the ball in the 28th minute. 32 minutes into the match, Älvkarleby IK's goal looked a bit too open when Johannes Nordal came free, but Michel Engström reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. After 33 minutes of play, the referee blew the whistle. It was a penalty for Älvkarleby IK! Torgny Martinsson sent away a hard shot on goal in the 39th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Anton Bålström was out of position in the 41 minute of play, and Konrad Alebeck capitalized on the mistake with a soft shot into the goal. Konrad Alebeck really showed his touch with that goal: 3-1. Konrad Alebeck fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 44th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Anton Bålström having to interfere. No-one was surprised that the home team were leading 3-1 at half-time.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Johannes Nordal to make the kick off. In the 52nd minute Martin Käcker shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Michel Engström saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Ulrik Siggesson during the 61st minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. After a rather tough play, Älvkarleby IK's Ulrik Siggesson got a free kick in the 61st minute. Konrad Alebeck scored 4-1 in the 69th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Anton Bålström, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. After having played for 75 minutes, Ulrik Siggesson managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Älvkarleby IK's supporters crossed their fingers, but Ulrik Siggesson was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. After a defensive mix-up in Vittsjö BF's zone, Torgny Martinsson stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Anton Bålström came out of the goal and Torgny Martinsson tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. In the 86th minute Konrad Alebeck shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Anton Bålström saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. In the 89th minute the ball was on its way in behind Vittsjö BF's goalkeeper Anton Bålström, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. 92 minutes into the match, Älvkarleby IK's goal looked a bit too open when Johannes Nordal came free, but Michel Engström reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. 94 minutes into the game, Vittsjö BF's Johannes Nordal nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. Michel Engström made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 4-2. There were very few away supporters still in the ground by the end of the match. Most of them had left early, disgusted by the way their team had been torn apart. Älvkarleby IK fully deserved thier win.
