Ragnar Kruuse took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Alfred Askelöf, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Thanks to some nice foot action and superb ball handling Alfred Askelöf in the 58th minute a chance for a shot on goal. With an extended leg and a bit of luck Ragnar Kruuse prevented the ball from getting in the gole. Roy Almstedt received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 60th minute. Vidar Bogren tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere.

The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 81 minutes into the match, Christopher Rang had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Ragnar Kruuse.
