After some fancy dribbling in the 11th minute, Mattias Wikander managed to get in a good position for a shot. Bräcke BK's supporters rose to their feet, but Mattias Wikander was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post.

The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. When Christer Dahlman came up free with the goalie in the 43rd minute, the Bräcke BK 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 Christer Dahlman couldn't finish the play. In the 44th minute the ball was on its way in behind Kista IF's goalkeeper Rune Danielsson, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar.
