Idavallen
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, 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. Fred Jönsson started the match with the kick off. After 2 played minutes Ystads Boll Klubb got a freekick which was hit by Ernst Pettersson. When Lars-Erik Carlsson fell near the penalty area in the 5th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Viking Rangers's protests and gave Lars-Erik Carlsson a yellow card for diving instead. In the 5th minute, Lars-Erik Carlsson hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Viking Rangers's Sven-Ove Utfal played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Miroslaw Mios in the 7th minute of play. After 7 minutes of play Viking Rangers's Lars-Erik Carlsson was too eager in his attempt to stop his opponent and brought him down. With that he got his second yellow card and was ordered off the ground. A collision led to Viking Rangers getting a freekick after 8 minutes play. Lars-Erik Carlsson hit a great ball. In the 10th minute, Arne Lind ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Sven-Ove Utfal was frozen by the shot and now it was 0-1. 14 minutes into the match, Arne Lind notched a goal, 0-2, to the right of Viking Rangers's Sven-Ove Utfal. Sven-Ove Utfal was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. In the 19thth minute of the game Fred Jönsson who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Ystads Boll Klubb's Uno Björklund was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. In the 21st minute, Miroslaw Mios sent off a long shot on goal, but the shot was nowhere near the goal and Viking Rangers's Sven-Ove Utfal didn't even have to move. 23 minutes into the game, Olívio Tande cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 0-3. Sven-Ove Utfal was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. In the 26th minute the ball was on its way in behind Ystads Boll Klubb's goalkeeper Uno Björklund, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Viking Rangers's Sven-Ove Utfal played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Olívio Tande in the 29th minute of play. After a defensive mix-up in Ystads Boll Klubb's zone, Fred Jönsson stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Uno Björklund came out of the goal and Fred Jönsson tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Ystads Boll Klubb's Uno Björklund played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Fred Jönsson in the 33rd minute of play. Ernst Pettersson hit a great freekick 39 minutes into the match. Ystads Boll Klubb's defense didn't have a chance, in the 40th minute, when Fred Jönsson scored to the left of an out of position Uno Björklund, making the score, 1-3. After some fancy dribbling in the 47th minute, Tomas Söder managed to get in a good position for a shot. Viking Rangers's supporters rose to their feet, but Tomas Söder was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Uno Björklund breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. The crowd was extremely unhappy with the home team's performance in the first half. They were losing 1-3.

The wind increased when Olívio Tande made the kick off in the second half. Sven-Ove Utfal showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Arne Lind in the 52nd minute of the match. Arne Lind blasted a shot towards the goal in the 53rd minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Sven-Ove Utfal having to make a save. After having played for 55 minutes, Jan-Åke Öman managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Viking Rangers's supporters crossed their fingers, but Jan-Åke Öman was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Viking Rangers's Fred Jönsson got a good chance for a goal in the 58th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. In the 60th minute, Miroslaw Mios hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Sven-Ove Utfal showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Olívio Tande, who was totally free with the ball in the 63rd minute. If Fred Jönsson had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 67th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Uno Björklund came out of the goal in the 69th minute to try and stop a shot by Viking Rangers's Tomas Söder. But to his dismay, Tomas Söder quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 2-3. 73 minutes into the match, Ystads Boll Klubb's goal looked a bit too open when Jan-Åke Öman came free, but Uno Björklund reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. 73 minutes into the match, Jan-Åke Öman had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Uno Björklund. Ystads Boll Klubb's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Jan-Åke Öman was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 3-3. 77 minutes into the game, Olov Lagerberg was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Ystads Boll Klubb's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Viking Rangers the free kick. Ystads Boll Klubb made a substitution. Thomas Hammarström replaced Benjamin Hultin. Olov Lagerberg hit a great freekick 78 minutes into the match. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Fred Jönsson in the 80th managed to get into a good position.

Viking Rangers's Sven-Ove Utfal proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 85th minute of the match, managed to save Viking Rangers from getting a goal against them. Tomas Söder struck a weak shot in the 87th minute. Uno Björklund didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Viking Rangers. An unexpectedly hard shot by Fred Jönsson in the 89th minute of play forced Ystads Boll Klubb's goalkeeper Uno Björklund to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Neither set of supporters seemed pleased with the draw, but both teams had played equally well today.
