Max Jonasson came out of the goal and Sven-Oskar Simonsson tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. The long shot by Wiktor Ödmann in the 30th minute really tested Max Jonasson's skills. The ball was on its way into the goal to the left of him when he managed to stretch himself and save the shot and avoid a goal. Hortlax SK were furious when Jimmy Holmgren was red carded, 33 minutes into the game, but the referee dismissed their protests. The goalkeeper, Max Jonasson, was totally fooled by Hallsta Bouncers FF's Petter Gunnarsson, who 36 minutes into the game made a penalty shot that went in on the goalkeeper's left side.

Pontus Lange stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Roger Berggren's shot from short distance in the 52nd minute. Roger Berggren's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Pontus Lange read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 53rd minute of play.

After some fancy dribbling in the 70th minute, Roger Berggren managed to get in a good position for a shot.
