Ålem
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Bo Boberg made the kick off which started today's match. 2YK FF were furious when Gustav Norberg was red carded, 4 minutes into the game, but the referee dismissed their protests. In a very dangerous position, a player in 2YK FF fell when an opponent tried to get the ball from him in the 3rd minute. Penalty! Rikard Kruuse's late challenge caught a 2YK FF's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Rikard Kruuse helped the player get up and apologised. The supporters of 2YK FF booed when Ålem IF was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 10 match minutes in a wonderful position. Rikard Kruuse didn't get a good kick on the ball. Morgan Asplund received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 14th minute. Ted Stålman tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Harald Uggla kicked well hit freekick during the 15th minute of the match. After some fancy dribbling in the 16th minute, Morgan Asplund managed to get in a good position for a shot. Ålem IF's supporters rose to their feet, but Morgan Asplund was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Ted Stålman breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. After having played for 17 minutes, Kjell Bengtsson managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Ålem IF's supporters crossed their fingers, but Kjell Bengtsson was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. If Morgan Asplund had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 19th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Kjell Bengtsson sent away a hard shot on goal in the 20th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 22nd minute Edvard Andersson shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Torbjörn Wik saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. The crowd rose to their feet as Kjell Bengtsson kicked a wonderful shot that went in to the left of a diving Ted Stålman. That made the score 2-0 in the 35 minute of play. Nils Nordlander hit a great freekick 38 minutes into the match. 2YK FF's Ted Stålman proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 41st minute of the match, managed to save 2YK FF from getting a goal against them. Edvard Andersson sent away a hard shot on goal in the 43rd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. When the referee blew for the end of the half the home team players were clearly happier, as they went in to the break leading 2-0.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Kjell Bengtsson made a kick off. 55 minutes into the match, 2YK FF's Nils Nordlander sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Torbjörn Wik narrowly saved just below the crossbar. During the 56th minute of the match Rikard Kruuse completely mistimed his tackle and brought down his opponent. The referee gave Rikard Kruuse a yellow card, his second in the match, which meant he could no longer take part in the game. Rikard Kruuse hit a great freekick 57 minutes into the match. In the 59th minute, Morgan Asplund 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. Ted Stålman took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Morgan Asplund, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Morgan Asplund fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 68th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Ted Stålman having to interfere. Ted Stålman showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Pelle Kinell, who was totally free with the ball in the 70th minute. Edvard Andersson sent away a hard shot on goal in the 71st minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.
