Hallaryd Stadion
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Sebastian Sandberg got the match started through his kick off. An unexpectedly hard shot by Kennet Heggert in the 2nd minute of play forced Hallaryd's goalkeeper Tom Beck to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Tom Beck showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Kennet Heggert, who was totally free with the ball in the 4th minute. Alfred Sandström made an important save on a dangerous shot by Sven Tinglöf in the 11th minute. In the 13th minute, Kennet Heggert 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. A collision led to Österbybruk getting a freekick after 17 minutes play. Gabriel Lange hit a great ball. Charles Nyberg shot the penalty kick right outside the post. The audience thought a goal was coming when Sven Tinglöf got free with Alfred Sandström in the 32nd minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. Sven Tinglöf fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 34th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Alfred Sandström having to interfere. Jack Botvidsson kicked well hit freekick during the 41st minute of the match. After 46 minutes of play, Hallaryd's Sven Tinglöf made it 1-0 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Alfred Sandström was left in no man's land by his defense there! Af the end of the first half the score was 1-0. The first half had gone as expected for the home team.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Gabriel Lange stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. In the 56th minute the ball was on its way in behind Österbybruk's goalkeeper Alfred Sandström, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. The audience was convinced that Sven Tinglöf's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Alfred Sandström was relentless in the 60th minute of the game. Sven Tinglöf received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 63rd minute. Alfred Sandström tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. After a defensive mix-up in Hallaryd's zone, Kennet Heggert stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Tom Beck came out of the goal and Kennet Heggert tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. If Sven Tinglöf had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 69th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 71st minute, Bengt-Arne Säv made a precise shot to the right of Alfred Sandström. Österbybruk's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 2-0. In the 74th minute Sven Tinglöf shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Alfred Sandström saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Sven Tinglöf kicked well hit freekick during the 80th minute of the match. Bengt-Arne Säv might have been able to make a better finish in the 85th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Alfred Sandström. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Bengt-Arne Säv ran back to his position shaking his head. When Kennet Heggert came up free with the goalie in the 87th minute, the Österbybruk 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 Kennet Heggert couldn't finish the play. Tom Beck showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Gabriel Lange, who was totally free with the ball in the 89th minute. In the 94th minute the ball was on its way in behind Österbybruk's goalkeeper Alfred Sandström, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Hallaryd walked away with a well-earned victory that was much celebrated by the crowd.
