Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Kjell-Arne Johansson started the match with the kick off. When the match clock showed 5 minutes, the score became 0-1 when Kjell-Arne Johansson sped through Kila IF's defense and sent away a curving shot that went into the net to the right of Jens-Åke Örtlund. 9 minutes into the match, Kila IF's Michael Hedin sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Torbjörn Bergfeldt narrowly saved just below the crossbar. After 13 minutes, Bernt Arvidsson made it 1-1 with a short kick to the right side. MeanMachine´s's Torbjörn Bergfeldt tried to save the shot but he was too slow in reacting to the shot. In the 16th minute Kjell-Arne Johansson shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Jens-Åke Örtlund saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Timmy Lundberg received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 17th minute. Jens-Åke Örtlund tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. MeanMachine´s's Torbjörn Bergfeldt played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Michael Hedin in the 21st minute of play. If Bernt Arvidsson had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 22nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. With a little luck, MeanMachine´s's Torbjörn Bergfeldt got control of the ball when Bernt Arvidsson tried to sneak it across the goal line. In the 30th minute, John Samuelsson hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. After a defensive mix-up in Kila IF's zone, William Fågel stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Jens-Åke Örtlund came out of the goal and William Fågel tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Jens-Åke Örtlund took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Timmy Lundberg, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. 37 minutes into the match, MeanMachine´s's Kjell-Arne Johansson sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Jens-Åke Örtlund narrowly saved just below the crossbar.

Without hesitation aimed to the right of Torbjörn Bergfeldt, who managed to lunge to the right direction and made a save. After having played for 45 minutes, Timmy Lundberg managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. MeanMachine´s's supporters crossed their fingers, but Timmy Lundberg was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. An unexpectedly hard shot by Timmy Lundberg in the 48th minute of play forced Kila IF's goalkeeper Jens-Åke Örtlund to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Michael Hedin to make the kick off. When Bernt Arvidsson came up free with the goalie in the 52nd minute, the Kila IF fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Bernt Arvidsson couldn't finish the play.
