Huaröd Stadion
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Kjell-Arne Björklund got the match started through his kick off. Per-Olof Kling showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Kjell-Arne Björklund in the 6th minute of the match. After some fancy dribbling in the 10th minute, Emanuel Larsson managed to get in a good position for a shot. Ersmark's supporters rose to their feet, but Emanuel Larsson was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Pär Falck breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. The audience was convinced that Patrik Mårtensson's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Pär Falck was relentless in the 12th minute of the game. Patrik Mårtensson received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 14th minute. Pär Falck tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. After 21 played minutes Huaröd got a freekick which was hit by Bengt-Rune Galle. Patrik Mårtensson fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 24th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Pär Falck having to interfere. Huaröd's Pär Falck played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Emanuel Larsson in the 25th minute of play. After some careless play in the Huaröd defense, Emanuel Larsson kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Pär Falck. The Huaröd fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Pär Falck should have stopped the shot. Emanuel Larsson received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 32nd minute. Pär Falck tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Thanks to some nice foot action and superb ball handling Patrik Mårtensson in the 34th minute a chance for a shot on goal. With an extended leg and a bit of luck Pär Falck prevented the ball from getting in the gole. 37 minutes into the match, Ersmark's goal looked a bit too open when Kjell-Arne Björklund came free, but Per-Olof Kling reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Pär Falck took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Emanuel Larsson, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. In the 42nd minute, one of Huaröd:s players had the ball in front of the goal but got pushed and fell. The referee felt it was an obvious case and blew a penalty for Huaröd. In the 43rd minute there was a penalty for Ersmark. Nils-Emil Lindqvist stepped forward and shot the ball to the right of a diving Pär Falck. 0-2. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 0-2 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Patrik Mårtensson to make the kick off. Emanuel Larsson received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 54th minute. Pär Falck tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. In the 62nd minute, Joseph Näver hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. If Jan Juhlin had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 66th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. An unexpectedly hard shot by Patrik Mårtensson in the 73rd minute of play forced Huaröd's goalkeeper Pär Falck to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Per-Olof Kling showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Jan Juhlin in the 76th minute of the match. If Kjell-Arne Björklund had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 82nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Dan Pettersson hit a great freekick 88 minutes into the match. Emanuel Larsson struck a weak shot in the 89th minute. Pär Falck didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Ersmark. Ersmark played a much better game than Huaröd and deserved their victory. The Huaröd players were clearly disappointed as they left the ground.
