Underground Lane
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) When André Gustafsson came up free with the goalie in the 3rd minute, the Shepherd´s Bush Green 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 André Gustafsson couldn't finish the play. Jonatan Jelm's late challenge caught a Shepherd´s Bush Green's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Jonatan Jelm helped the player get up and apologised. In the 4th match minute, Väckelsång IFK was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Jonatan Jelm to maneuver through the defense. After a rather tough play, Shepherd´s Bush Green's Erland Rosendal got a free kick in the 6th minute. Nils-Emil Berggren's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Urban Kellbom read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 8th minute of play. Urban Kellbom stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Jonatan Pettersson's shot from short distance in the 9th minute. In the 12th minute André Gustafsson shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Göran Carlsson saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Thanks to some nice foot action and superb ball handling Jonatan Pettersson in the 15th minute a chance for a shot on goal. With an extended leg and a bit of luck Urban Kellbom prevented the ball from getting in the gole. 17 minutes into the match, Nils-Emil Berggren notched a goal, 0-1, to the right of Shepherd´s Bush Green's Urban Kellbom. Urban Kellbom was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Jonatan Pettersson scored 0-2 in the 23rd match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Urban Kellbom, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. Erland Rosendal fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 29th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Göran Carlsson having to interfere. After a rather tough play, Väckelsång IFK's Kåre Johnsson got a free kick in the 31st minute. Reine Hääger struck a weak shot in the 35th minute. Göran Carlsson didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Shepherd´s Bush Green. After 38 minutes, Leif Dahlqvist mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Väckelsång IFK and the Shepherd´s Bush Green players grew even worse after the yellow card. In the 37th minute, one of Väckelsång IFK:s players had the ball in front of the goal but got pushed and fell. The referee felt it was an obvious case and blew a penalty for Väckelsång IFK. When the match had been going on for 39 minutes, Shepherd´s Bush Green's Ivar Smed got an opportunity to shoot a penalty. He stayed cool and waited for the goalkeeper to move, before he confidently shot the ball into the goal, to the left of Göran Carlsson.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Jonatan Pettersson made a kick off. In the 53rd play minute Nils-Emil Berggren came free and shot an unsuspected shot which went into goal from the right pole behind a surprised Urban Kellbom. 1-3. Jonatan Pettersson received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 58th minute. Urban Kellbom tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Göran Carlsson came out of the goal in the 61st minute to try and stop a shot by Shepherd´s Bush Green's Reine Hääger. But to his dismay, Reine Hääger quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 2-3. Göran Carlsson took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from André Gustafsson, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Nils-Emil Berggren received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 72nd minute. Urban Kellbom tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. 76 minutes into the match, Väckelsång IFK's goal looked a bit too open when André Gustafsson came free, but Göran Carlsson reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. After some fancy dribbling in the 82nd minute, Reine Hääger managed to get in a good position for a shot. Shepherd´s Bush Green's supporters rose to their feet, but Reine Hääger was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Göran Carlsson breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. After 85 minutes, Kåre Johnsson mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Väckelsång IFK and the Shepherd´s Bush Green players grew even worse after the yellow card. In the 85th minute, Kåre Johnsson hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Göran Carlsson made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Reine Hääger in the 88th minute of play. In the 92nd minute, Nils-Emil Berggren 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.
