Heberg
Spectators: 33 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Anders Hamnberg made the kick off which started today's match. Niclas Zander struck a weak shot in the 4th minute. Axel Magnusson didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Heberg RK. 7 minutes into the match, Blomstermåla's goalkeeper Axel Magnusson had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Niclas Zander. Sven Göransson's late challenge caught a Blomstermåla's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Sven Göransson helped the player get up and apologised. Blomstermåla were awarded a corner in the 12th minute after Heberg RK's defender lost control of the ball, allowing it to roll out over the line. Jack Damm took the corner. In the 13th minute, Niclas Zander hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Joel Martindale showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Nils Berg in the 16th minute of the match. If Anders Hamnberg had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 18th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Björn Nordin sent away a hard shot on goal in the 21st minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal.

Heberg RK's Joel Martindale played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Anders Hamnberg in the 27th minute of play. After having played for 29 minutes, Nils Berg managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Blomstermåla's supporters crossed their fingers, but Nils Berg was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. In the 30th minute Anders Hamnberg shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Joel Martindale saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Niclas Zander could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 34th minute of the match, but Axel Magnusson made a huge save. After some careless play in the Blomstermåla defense, Björn Nordin kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Axel Magnusson. The Blomstermåla fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Axel Magnusson should have stopped the shot. 42 minutes into the match, Blomstermåla's goal looked a bit too open when Björn Nordin came free, but Axel Magnusson reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Björn Nordin stepped up to make the kick off in the second half.

In the 61st minute, Åke Pihlblad hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. In the 65th minute of the match Joacim Jonsson shot from a long distance. The ball could have gone into the goal to the right of the goalkeeper, but Axel Magnusson showed his good shape when he easily got hold of the ball. After a defensive mix-up in Blomstermåla's zone, Niclas Zander stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Axel Magnusson came out of the goal and Niclas Zander tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Jan Öberg charged in rather forcefully in the 70th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Jan Öberg the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. Sven Göransson kicked well hit freekick during the 73rd minute of the match. Jack Damm was probably a little too eager to shoot when he, in the 74th played minute, shot the ball from way out. The shot was hard, but the ball flew wide of the goal.
