The audience was convinced that Folke Ström's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Reine Persson was relentless in the 4th minute of the game. A collision led to Hishult getting a freekick after 15 minutes play. Marcus Andberg hit a great ball. Isak Söderström acted impressively in front of the goal and made a superb save when he, in the 16th minute, took the ball on the long shot from Ingvar Söderström. Krysspass BK's Reine Persson played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Holger Axelsson in the 19th minute of play. Holger Axelsson fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 20th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Reine Persson having to interfere. In the 22nd minute, Folke Ström made a precise shot to the right of Reine Persson. Krysspass BK's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 0-1. If Karl Sandell had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 33rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.

The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 45 minutes into the game, Folke Ström cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 1-3. Reine Persson was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 1-3 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

Karl Sandell sent away a hard shot on goal in the 53rd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Folke Ström recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 60th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. If Folke Ström had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 62nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead.

After a rather tough play, Hishult's Evert Hjortberg got a free kick in the 65th minute. When Ingvar Söderström came up free with the goalie in the 66th minute, the Krysspass 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 Ingvar Söderström couldn't finish the play. In the 73rd minute Erland Eklund shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Isak Söderström saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Reine Persson made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Folke Ström in the 75th minute of play. After 76 played minutes Krysspass BK got a freekick which was hit by Peder Lidström.

After 82 minutes, Folke Ström mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Hishult and the Krysspass BK players grew even worse after the yellow card. Reine Persson made a fantastic save in the 90th minute, when Holger Axelsson sent off a good shot on target. Reine Persson took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Folke Ström, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. After some fancy dribbling in the 93rd minute, Holger Axelsson managed to get in a good position for a shot. Hishult's supporters rose to their feet, but Holger Axelsson was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Reine Persson breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. After having played for 97 minutes, Holger Axelsson managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal.
