Knacket Arena
Spectators: 33 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Thomas Vik took the kick off in the first half of the match. Rickard Bäck scored 1-0 in the 6th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Sune Eklund, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. Nicklas Lund struck a weak shot in the 14th minute. Herbert Löfdahl didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Torekov FK. Herbert Löfdahl showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Nicklas Lund in the 16th minute of the match. Herbert Löfdahl showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Olof Lundgren, who was totally free with the ball in the 22nd minute. Sivert Svensson charged in rather forcefully in the 24th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Sivert Svensson the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. In the 29th minute, Knacko FC's Thomas Vik dribbled the ball into the box and hit a shot with the outside of his foot, sending the keeper the wrong way. 2-0.

Nicklas Lund sent away a hard shot on goal in the 58th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.

In the 76th minute, Torekov FK's Olof Lundgren ran free of his marker and smoothly shot the ball into the goal behind Herbert Löfdahl. Herbert Löfdahl yelled at his defense, as they had left him out to dry. 3-1. 82 minutes into the match, Torekov FK's goal looked a bit too open when Thomas Vik came free, but Sune Eklund reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. If Nicklas Lund had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 90th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. A collision led to Knacko FC getting a freekick after 96 minutes play. Jörgen Wallin hit a great ball. Herbert Löfdahl made a fantastic save in the 97th minute, when Morgan Wallin sent off a good shot on target. The crowd rose to their feet and cheered when the referee blew the final whistle.
