League Play-Off

Rulf Stadion
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Folke Eklund made the kick off which started today's match. Joachim Felin fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 3rd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Kim Matsson having to interfere. When Stig-Åke Wallmark came up free with the goalie in the 5th minute, the Råda FF 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 Stig-Åke Wallmark couldn't finish the play. 8 minutes into the game, Elliott Mellbad threw the ball into play from the sideline. Rulfs Angels's Andreas Hellström quickly snatched the ball and retained possesion. An unexpectedly hard shot by Dennis Hellgren in the 9th minute of play forced Råda FF's goalkeeper Viggo Söderqwist to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. After 13 minutes of play, Rulfs Angels's Folke Eklund made it 1-0 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Viggo Söderqwist was left in no man's land by his defense there! 16 minutes into the game, Jonas Wik was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Råda FF's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Rulfs Angels the free kick. Jonas Wik hit a great freekick 16 minutes into the match. Folke Eklund blasted a shot towards the goal in the 17th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Viggo Söderqwist having to make a save. Folke Eklund struck a weak shot in the 20th minute. Viggo Söderqwist didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Rulfs Angels. 28 minutes into the game, Stig-Åke Wallmark cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 1-1. Kim Matsson was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. Kim Matsson showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Ove Påk in the 31st minute of the match. The supporters of Råda FF booed when Rulfs Angels was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 33 match minutes in a wonderful position. Erik Petersson didn't get a good kick on the ball. If Joachim Felin had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 34th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After a rather tough play, Råda FF's Jonas Wik got a free kick in the 43rd minute. The first half was very even, with the score at 1-1 when the whistle went for half-time. The players welcomed the break and quickly retired to the dressing rooms.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Stig-Åke Wallmark made a kick off. In the 54th match minute, Råda FF was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Joachim Felin to maneuver through the defense. Dennis Hellgren's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Viggo Söderqwist read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 61st minute of play. After a rather tough play, Rulfs Angels's Hans Karlsson got a free kick in the 65th minute. Folke Eklund fired away a difficult shot at goal in the 69th minute. He almost succeeded, but the ball went over. It was a very nice shot. In the 79th minute Ove Påk shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Kim Matsson saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. The throw-in from Elliott Mellbad in the 85th minute of the game was unfortunally taken care of by Rulfs Angels's Hans Karlsson. Andreas Hellström kicked well hit freekick during the 96th minute of the match.
