In the 7th minute, Gustav Qvarnström hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. After 9 minutes of play, the referee blew the whistle. It was a penalty for AC Milan! Uno Örnberg had in the 10thth minute some difficulties stopping Christer Stephansson's well aimed penalty as it nearly passed him on his left side, but he still managed to hold the ball. Ingvar Back made a fantastic save in the 15th minute, when Fabian Szkaradek sent off a good shot on target. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Jack Pedersson in the 19th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Ingvar Back saved Nordmarkshyttan from getting behind. Mátyás Herceg charged in rather forcefully in the 24th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Mátyás Herceg the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. In the 24th minute, Mátyás Herceg hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. In the 31st minute, Gustav Qvarnström got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. Mátyás Herceg struck a weak shot in the 36th minute. Ingvar Back didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for AC Milan. If Ted Apelquist had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 39th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. If Mátyás Herceg had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 43rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Michael Kellberg hit a great freekick 47 minutes into the match. After a very even first half the match was still tied. The players went to their respective dressing rooms to discuss the tactics for the second half.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Mátyás Herceg to strike the kick off in the second half. In the 51st match minute, AC Milan was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Sivert Blom to maneuver through the defense. After having played for 57 minutes, Mátyás Herceg managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. AC Milan's supporters crossed their fingers, but Mátyás Herceg was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. An unexpectedly hard shot by Ulf Beneth in the 70th minute of play forced Nordmarkshyttan's goalkeeper Ingvar Back to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Christer Stephansson hit a great freekick 72 minutes into the match. Nordmarkshyttan's Ingvar Back played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Fabian Szkaradek in the 76th minute of play. Mátyás Herceg received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 78th minute. Ingvar Back tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Michael Kellberg sent away a hard shot on goal in the 87th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. With his leg Uno Örnberg managed to avoid a goal in the 90thth minute, when Nordmarkshyttan's Ted Apelquist fired away a shot with a lot of spin towards his right hand side. It was no surprise that this one had ended in a win for the home team. AC Milan had played much better football throughout.
