One of Nusnäs IFK:s players had nearly got his shirt torn off by an opponent while getting free in front of Dutch FC:s goal. Torbjörn Bruse placed the ball on the penalty spot and got himself ready to shoot. Post out! In the 12th minute Ian Tönnberg shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Petter Pilberg saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. The supporters of Dutch FC booed when Nusnäs IFK was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 13 match minutes in a wonderful position. Stellan Tidéksson didn't get a good kick on the ball.

Alf Rosin struck a weak shot in the 20th minute. Svante Åström didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Nusnäs IFK. When Jan-Ove Klint came up free with the goalie in the 21st minute, the Nusnäs IFK 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 Jan-Ove Klint couldn't finish the play. In the 32nd minute, Börje Koch ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Petter Pilberg was frozen by the shot and now it was 1-0. 43 minutes into the match, Nusnäs IFK's goalkeeper Petter Pilberg had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Börje Koch. Ian Tönnberg received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 44th minute. Petter Pilberg tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. No-one was surprised that the home team were leading 2-0 at half-time.

The wind increased when Alf Rosin made the kick off in the second half. Pål Kihlman received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 55th minute. Petter Pilberg tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. After a defensive mix-up in Nusnäs IFK's zone, Ian Tönnberg stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Petter Pilberg came out of the goal and Ian Tönnberg tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. With an all-out effort, Nusnäs IFK's Svante Åström threw himself towards the right post 60 minutes into the match and grabbed hold of the ball from Alf Rosin, which otherwise would have been placed in the net. 64 minutes in the game, Ian Tönnberg dribbled his way through the penalty area and after maneuvering past an opponent, drilled a quick shot at the goal.
