Kim Pihl fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 19th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Elliott Ålberg having to interfere.

An unexpectedly hard shot by Matthias Törnqvist in the 48th minute of play forced Nusnäs's goalkeeper Elliott Ålberg to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 0-1 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.
