Spectators: 33 (Terracing: 26, 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. Carl Mattsson started the match with the kick off. Gräddö's Joel Håkansson proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 6th minute of the match, managed to save Gräddö from getting a goal against them. The supporters of Gräddö booed when Jonstorp was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 7 match minutes in a wonderful position. Christian Melberg didn't get a good kick on the ball. After a defensive mix-up in Jonstorp's zone, Carl Ahlén stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Peter Berggren came out of the goal and Carl Ahlén tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Marko Hedvall's late challenge caught a Gräddö's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Marko Hedvall helped the player get up and apologised. After 14 played minutes Jonstorp got a freekick which was hit by Marko Hedvall. After 19 played minutes, Gräddö's Jack Runberg shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Peter Berggren came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in Gräddö reached it. Peter Berggren showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Carl Mattsson in the 21st minute of the match. Johan Bolander kicked well hit freekick during the 21st minute of the match. If Carl Ahlén had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 31st minute.
