But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Ingmar Wallin couldn't finish the play. Pelle Hultman made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Karl-Ove Sigfridsson in the 40th minute of play.

Viktor Lundqvist showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Ingmar Wallin in the 90th minute of the match. After 92 played minutes, FC Columbus's Jarl Benet shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Viktor Lundqvist 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 FC Columbus reached it. After a rather tough play, Harplinge's Peder Myr got a free kick in the 94th minute. The final whistle blew with the score still tied, and both teams left the pitch thinking about the missed chances that could have given their team the win.
