Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when John Högström got the match started through his kick off. If Lennart Rydelius had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 2nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. With a little luck, Gunners FC's Svante Westerberg got control of the ball when Kjell Modig tried to sneak it across the goal line. Evert Emander kicked well hit freekick during the 8th minute of the match. In the 9th minute John Högström shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Svante Westerberg saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Norsborgs IF's Kjell Modig got a good chance for a goal in the 10th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Kjell Modig struck a weak shot in the 13th minute. Svante Westerberg didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Norsborgs IF. Sverker Nykvist sent away a hard shot on goal in the 18th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Evert Emander struck a weak shot in the 20th minute. Johan Vennerström didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Gunners FC.

After a rather tough play, Gunners FC's Evert Emander got a free kick in the 30th minute.

Lennart Rydelius received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 55th minute. Johan Vennerström tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. After having played for 61 minutes, Kjell Modig managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Norsborgs IF's supporters crossed their fingers, but Kjell Modig was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. When Dennis Pilgren fell near the penalty area in the 64th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Gunners FC's protests and gave Dennis Pilgren a yellow card for diving instead. In the 64th minute, Dennis Pilgren hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. In the 67th minute, Lennart Rydelius got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal.

Sverker Nykvist sent away a hard shot on goal in the 75th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Lennart Rydelius received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 76th minute. Johan Vennerström tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Evert Emander's late challenge caught a Norsborgs IF's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Evert Emander helped the player get up and apologised.
