Spectators: 33 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Sverker Levander took the kick off in the first half of the match.

The ball had pretty good speed, but Bengt-Åke Tolsson firmly grabbed it by the left post. Kent Giliusson recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 26th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal.

If Sven-Oskar Aronsson had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 43rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.
