League Play-Off

Tomelilla Stadion
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Alvar Kielstedt took the kick off in the first half of the match. Alvar Kielstedt sent away a hard shot on goal in the 5th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 7th minute, Gunnebo BF's goalie took a deep sigh of relief after Alvar Kielstedt fired away a hard shot that went just outside the left post. 14 minutes into the match, Gunnebo BF's goal looked a bit too open when Alvar Kielstedt came free, but Sture Sigfridsson reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. August Mager fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 15th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Sture Sigfridsson having to interfere. Sture Sigfridsson showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Alvar Kielstedt, who was totally free with the ball in the 17th minute. After a rather tough play, Gunnebo BF's Tor Vallin got a free kick in the 18th minute. The audience was convinced that Alvar Kielstedt's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Sture Sigfridsson was relentless in the 20th minute of the game. In the 25th minute, Tomelilla's Urban Ersman seemed to kick out at an opponent. The referee saw this and, surprisingly, showed Urban Ersman the red card, dismissing him from the pitch. The coaching staff of Tomelilla protested bitterly, but the referee would have none of it, and Urban Ersman had no choice but to slowly walk off the pitch. 24 minutes into the game, one of Tomelilla:s players got tackled near the goal, and the referee blew for a penalty. In the 30th minute, Rickard Ståhlberg ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Morgan Kruuse was frozen by the shot and now it was 0-2. In the 34th minute the ball was on its way in behind Tomelilla's goalkeeper Morgan Kruuse, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Tommy Bäcklin fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 37th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Morgan Kruuse having to interfere. Morgan Kruuse took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Tommy Bäcklin, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. In the 40th minute, Axel Bratt hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. After 41 played minutes, Gunnebo BF's Ingvar Kvarnström shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Morgan Kruuse 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 Gunnebo BF reached it. The Tomelilla players were disheartened as they walked off the pitch after the first half. Gunnebo BF were winning 0-2.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Rickard Ståhlberg made a kick off. Morgan Kruuse acted impressively in front of the goal and made a superb save when he, in the 54th minute, took the ball on the long shot from Greger Wallmark. Thanks to some nice foot action and superb ball handling August Mager in the 61st minute a chance for a shot on goal. With an extended leg and a bit of luck Sture Sigfridsson prevented the ball from getting in the gole. After a rather tough play, Gunnebo BF's Göran Törnqvist got a free kick in the 61st minute. If August Mager had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 63rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Oskar Dahlgren sent away a hard shot on goal in the 64th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Tommy Bäcklin's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Morgan Kruuse read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 68th minute of play. Jarl Holmberg's late challenge caught a Tomelilla's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Jarl Holmberg helped the player get up and apologised. A collision led to Gunnebo BF getting a freekick after 70 minutes play. Jarl Holmberg hit a great ball. When August Mager came up free with the goalie in the 72nd minute, the Tomelilla 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 August Mager couldn't finish the play. If Rickard Ståhlberg had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 80th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Sture Sigfridsson made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from August Mager in the 90th minute of play. When Charles Hultman fell near the penalty area in the 91st minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Gunnebo BF's protests and gave Charles Hultman a yellow card for diving instead. Charles Hultman hit a great freekick 91 minutes into the match. August Mager fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 93rd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Sture Sigfridsson having to interfere. Rickard Ståhlberg sent away a hard shot on goal in the 95th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. When the final whistle was heard the away supporters stood up and showed their joy. Gunnebo BF had managed to secure a win in what was a close match throughout.
