Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Mats Grep kicked off to start the match. When Henric Sandwall fell near the penalty area in the 3rd minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Konga FF's protests and gave Henric Sandwall a yellow card for diving instead. After having played for 6 minutes, Michel Boström managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Tyresö FF's supporters crossed their fingers, but Michel Boström was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. An unexpectedly hard shot by Mats Grep in the 17th minute of play forced Tyresö FF's goalkeeper Erland Åman to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. After 23 minutes, Hannes Westerstrand mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Tyresö FF and the Konga FF players grew even worse after the yellow card.

A collision led to Konga FF getting a freekick after 40 minutes play. Alf Strand hit a great ball. Tyresö FF's Michel Boström managed to work through Konga FF's defense and was going for an easy goal, but he hit the shot with his toe and the ball flew outside the goal. Michel Boström dejectedly held out his arms as if to ask why the ball hadn't gone in. Konga FF's Mark Lingren played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Nils-Erik Holmberg in the 44th minute of play. In the 46th minute Michel Boström shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Mark Lingren saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line.

Tyresö FF's supporters rose to their feet, but Nils-Erik Holmberg was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post.

The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Michel Boström received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 71st minute. Mark Lingren tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. When Nils-Erik Holmberg came up free with the goalie in the 74th minute, the Tyresö 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 Nils-Erik Holmberg couldn't finish the play. Nils-Erik Holmberg sent away a hard shot on goal in the 76th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. 78 minutes into the match, Konga FF's goal looked a bit too open when Nils-Erik Holmberg came free, but Mark Lingren reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.
