Bergshamra
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Tobias Västerberg started the match with the kick off. In the 3rd minute the ball was on its way in behind Notorious Kingston's goalkeeper Sivert Lindgren, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Martin Håkansson during the 7th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. In the 8th minute of the match Felix Stenqvist shot from a long distance. The ball could have gone into the goal to the right of the goalkeeper, but Sivert Lindgren showed his good shape when he easily got hold of the ball. After some fancy dribbling in the 13th minute, Ted Tham managed to get in a good position for a shot. Notorious Kingston's supporters rose to their feet, but Ted Tham was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Agne Modig breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Rune Ståhlman recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 15th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. After 20 played minutes Bergshamra IFK got a freekick which was hit by Oskar Lekberg. A collision led to Notorious Kingston getting a freekick after 22 minutes play. Torbjörn Zachrisson hit a great ball. Sivert Lindgren made a fantastic save in the 25th minute, when Jan-Åke Arvidsson sent off a good shot on target. 27 minutes into the match, Bergshamra IFK's goal looked a bit too open when Ted Tham came free, but Agne Modig reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. When Rune Ståhlman came up free with the goalie in the 29th minute, the Notorious Kingston 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 Rune Ståhlman couldn't finish the play. If Rune Ståhlman had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 30th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. The supporters of Notorious Kingston booed when Bergshamra IFK was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 34 match minutes in a wonderful position. Victor Skager didn't get a good kick on the ball. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Tobias Västerberg in the 43rd managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Sivert Lindgren saved Notorious Kingston from getting behind. In the 48th minute, Notorious Kingston's goalie took a deep sigh of relief after Jan-Åke Arvidsson fired away a hard shot that went just outside the left post. After a very even first half the match was still tied. The players went to their respective dressing rooms to discuss the tactics for the second half.

In the 61st minute, Harald Hult hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. The audience was convinced that Jan-Åke Arvidsson's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Sivert Lindgren was relentless in the 63rd minute of the game. If Tobias Västerberg had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 73rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.
