Mörarp Stadion
Spectators: 33 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Christer Nordström kicked off to start the match. If Alfons Ahlquist had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 14th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Tobias Törnkvist charged in rather forcefully in the 16th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Tobias Törnkvist the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. Tobias Törnkvist hit a great freekick 16 minutes into the match. Ludwig Njurenius made an important save on a dangerous shot by Alfons Ahlquist in the 19th minute. Stig-Arne Linquist received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 22nd minute. Carl Palm tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. When Morgan Lundström fell near the penalty area in the 25th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Sjötorp RK's protests and gave Morgan Lundström a yellow card for diving instead. Joel Högberg shot the penalty kick by force right in the crossbar. No goal. After 29 played minutes Mörarp RK got a freekick which was hit by Freddie Axelsson. Thanks to some nice foot action and superb ball handling Stig-Arne Linquist in the 38th minute a chance for a shot on goal. With an extended leg and a bit of luck Carl Palm prevented the ball from getting in the gole. An unexpectedly hard shot by Vidar Lund in the 41st minute of play forced Mörarp RK's goalkeeper Carl Palm to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. When Stig-Arne Linquist came up free with the goalie in the 42nd minute, the Sjötorp RK 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 Stig-Arne Linquist couldn't finish the play. Ludwig Njurenius took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Christer Nordström, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. After the first half Sjötorp RK were leading 1-2. They had played with great self confidence throughout the first half and fully deserved their lead.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Vidar Lund was the one to do the kick off. In the 62nd minute Alfons Ahlquist shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Ludwig Njurenius saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Alfons Ahlquist fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 65th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Ludwig Njurenius having to interfere. Sjötorp RK's Vidar Lund got a good chance for a goal in the 67th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. If Stig-Arne Linquist had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 80th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Mörarp RK's Carl Palm proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 82nd minute of the match, managed to save Mörarp RK from getting a goal against them. Carl Palm didn't succeed in stopping the ball in the 83rd minute, which inside left pole to 1-3. After a defensive mix-up in Sjötorp RK's zone, Alfons Ahlquist stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Ludwig Njurenius came out of the goal and Alfons Ahlquist tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Stig-Arne Linquist received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 94th minute. Carl Palm tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Simon Vester charged in rather forcefully in the 96th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Simon Vester the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. A collision led to Mörarp RK getting a freekick after 96 minutes play. Simon Vester hit a great ball. The away crowd were delighted with the way their team had played and cheered loudly when the final whistle sounded. Sjötorp RK walked away with the win, even though the match was close until the end.
