Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Gunnar Sjö got the match started through his kick off. In the 3rd minute, Jarl Benet hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Pelle Hultman took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Dennis Bäck, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. FC Columbus's Pelle Hultman played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Gunnar Sjö in the 7th minute of play. Christopher Hultin received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 15th minute. Pelle Hultman tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. The supporters of Juniorerna booed when FC Columbus was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 16 match minutes in a wonderful position. Isac Löfdahl didn't get a good kick on the ball. When Christopher Hultin came up free with the goalie in the 18th minute, the Juniorerna 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 Christopher Hultin couldn't finish the play. After having played for 23 minutes, Gunnar Sjö managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Juniorerna's supporters crossed their fingers, but Gunnar Sjö was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. If Christopher Hultin had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 25th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 27 minutes into the match, Juniorerna's goalkeeper Hannes Gustavsson had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Ingmar Wallin. In the 30th minute of the match, Ingmar Wallin got a very nice opportunity to score, but Hannes Gustavsson was well-placed and pushed the ball away from the goal at the left post. Christopher Hultin took the ball and in the 35 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Pelle Hultman. Pelle Hultman dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 0-1. An unexpectedly hard shot by Christopher Hultin in the 39th minute of play forced FC Columbus's goalkeeper Pelle Hultman to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. In the 46th minute, Juniorerna's Ats Kirsimäe seemed to kick out at an opponent. The referee saw this and, surprisingly, showed Ats Kirsimäe the red card, dismissing him from the pitch. The coaching staff of Juniorerna protested bitterly, but the referee would have none of it, and Ats Kirsimäe had no choice but to slowly walk off the pitch. In the 45th minute, one of Juniorerna:s players had the ball in front of the goal but got pushed and fell. The referee felt it was an obvious case and blew a penalty for Juniorerna. The FC Columbus players were disheartened as they walked off the pitch after the first half. Juniorerna were winning 1-2.

The audience thought a goal was coming when Emanuel Uggstedt got free with Pelle Hultman in the 55th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. 55 minutes into the game, Emanuel Uggstedt recieved a splendid long ball, split the defenders, and gently placed the ball to the left of Pelle Hultman. Emanuel Uggstedt showed that you don't have to tear a hole in the net to score, 1-3. In the 64th minute, Stefan Ekgren hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. In the 66thth minute of the game Gunnar Sjö who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but FC Columbus's Pelle Hultman was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. Christopher Hultin could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 68th minute of the match, but Pelle Hultman made a huge save. Pelle Hultman came out of the goal in the 76th minute to try and stop a shot by Juniorerna's Christopher Hultin. But to his dismay, Christopher Hultin quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 1-4. In the 81st minute, Johannes Almstedt hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. In the 84th minute Gunnar Sjö shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Pelle Hultman saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Hannes Gustavsson made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Ingmar Wallin in the 86th minute of play. After 91 played minutes Juniorerna got a freekick which was hit by Johannes Almstedt. Jarl Benet took a chance and fired a shot far from the goal in the 93rd minute, but it turned out to be a dangerous situation for Hannes Gustavsson. Juniorerna's goalkeeper really had to stretch himself to stop the ball from crossing the goal line. In the 97th minute, Christopher Blomqvist made a precise shot to the right of Hannes Gustavsson. Juniorerna's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 2-4. When the final whistle sounded Juniorerna left the ground with the victory after a much better performance than FC Columbus.
