Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Daniel Thidén kicked off to start the match.

Brian Thedin received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 7th minute. Hubert Flinck tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. If Wilhelm Bergström had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 10th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.

Thomas Hedbom ran back to his position shaking his head. Thanks to some nice foot action and superb ball handling Enej Remec in the 16th minute a chance for a shot on goal. With an extended leg and a bit of luck Hubert Flinck prevented the ball from getting in the gole. Teet Valdmets showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Daniel Thidén, who was totally free with the ball in the 18th minute. When Daniel Thidén came up free with the goalie in the 20th minute, the Granö 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 Daniel Thidén couldn't finish the play. 35 minutes into the game, Åryd IK's Enej Remec nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. Hubert Flinck made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 0-1. Enej Remec received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 39th minute.

Åryd IK's Enej Remec got a good chance for a goal in the 47th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. 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.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Wilhelm Bergström to make the kick off.
