Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Faustino Erruki took the kick off in the first half of the match. An unexpectedly hard shot by Ulf Olofsson in the 7th minute of play forced Östansjö's goalkeeper Johan Galle to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Stig-Åke Holmgren took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Faustino Erruki, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. After 17 played minutes Loverslunds BK got a freekick which was hit by Gustaf Burman. The audience thought a goal was coming when Jens Magnusson got free with Johan Galle in the 19th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. In the 23rd minute, Loverslunds BK's Ulf Olofsson dribbled the ball into the box and hit a shot with the outside of his foot, sending the keeper the wrong way. 1-0. In the 25th minute, Johan Esbjörnsson hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. In the 28th minute the ball was on its way in behind Östansjö's goalkeeper Johan Galle, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. 32 minutes into the match, Faustino Erruki had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Stig-Åke Holmgren. Loverslunds BK's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Faustino Erruki was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 1-1. 35 minutes into the match, Faustino Erruki had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Stig-Åke Holmgren.

Jan-Olof Mellbad sent away a hard shot on goal in the 41st minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.

Stig-Åke Holmgren made a fantastic save in the 63rd minute, when Tim Kock sent off a good shot on target. Karl Ahlqvist struck a weak shot in the 65th minute.

Jens Magnusson charged in rather forcefully in the 68th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Jens Magnusson the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. In the 68th minute, Jens Magnusson hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Loverslunds BK's Stig-Åke Holmgren played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Faustino Erruki in the 71st minute of play. If Jan-Olof Mellbad had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 74th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Faustino Errukis short, quick shot in the 76thth minute got Stig-Åke Holmgren to make great effort and bar the ball away from getting in. Tim Kock's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Stig-Åke Holmgren read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 83rd minute of play.
