After having played for 37 minutes, Michel Berglund managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Edsele BF's supporters crossed their fingers, but Michel Berglund was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Philip Finman's shot straight on target was not completely harmless. The ball had pretty good speed, but Anders Enström firmly grabbed it by the left post.
