Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) After 2 played minutes Söderala FF got a freekick which was hit by Mathias Åkerman. Mathias Åkerman sent away a hard shot on goal in the 6th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Per-Olof Grönlund received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 8th minute. Sven-Ove Brandin tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. In the 11th minute Niclas Beckman shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Sven-Ove Brandin saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Sven-Ove Brandin was in the perfect position, and the defense had done a good job marking him, but Michel Björkkvist showcased his skills and made a perfect shot to score 1-0 in the 20 minute of play. Eddie Nordlund received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 24th minute. Lars Backman tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. In the 27th minute, Hägglunds IoFK's Niclas Beckman ran free of his marker and smoothly shot the ball into the goal behind Sven-Ove Brandin. Sven-Ove Brandin yelled at his defense, as they had left him out to dry. 2-0. Michel Björkkvist sent away a hard shot on goal in the 31st minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. Kevin Olofsson's late challenge caught a Hägglunds IoFK's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Kevin Olofsson helped the player get up and apologised. The supporters of Hägglunds IoFK booed when Söderala FF was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 32 match minutes in a wonderful position. Kevin Olofsson didn't get a good kick on the ball. After a rather tough play, Söderala FF's Jan Julin got a free kick in the 33rd minute. 36 minutes into the match, Mathias Åkerman notched a goal, 2-1, to the right of Hägglunds IoFK's Lars Backman. Lars Backman was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Söderala FF's Sven-Ove Brandin proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 39th minute of the match, managed to save Söderala FF from getting a goal against them. If Michel Björkkvist had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 41st minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 43rd minute the ball was on its way in behind Söderala FF's goalkeeper Sven-Ove Brandin, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Michel Björkkvist in the 45thth minute had a little luck and got a chance for a shot in front of the goal. Without hesitation aimed to the right of Sven-Ove Brandin, who managed to lunge to the right direction and made a save. Michel Björkkvist did some fancy footwork in front of goal and succeeded to deceive the defenders so he could slam the ball in 3-1 to the left of a surprised Sven-Ove Brandin 45 minutes into the match. All the noise was coming from the home fans when the whistle went for half-time. The home team had fought hardest to put themselves in a deserved lead.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Michel Björkkvist to strike the kick off in the second half. Sven-Ove Brandin showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Michel Björkkvist in the 60th minute of the match. After a rather tough play, Söderala FF's Ivar Hammarberg got a free kick in the 62nd minute. 63 minutes into the game, Hägglunds IoFK's Michel Björkkvist nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. Sven-Ove Brandin made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 4-2. If Niclas Beckman had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 79th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. 83 minutes into the match, Mathias Åkerman dribbled the ball past the defender and swiftly kicked the ball to the left of Lars Backman, 4-3. Lars Backman came out of the goal in the 86th minute to try and stop a shot by Söderala FF's Eddie Nordlund. But to his dismay, Eddie Nordlund quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 4-4. In the 89th minute Mathias Åkerman shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Lars Backman saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. The crowd rose to their feet as Rolf Björkdal kicked a wonderful shot that went in to the left of a diving Lars Backman. That made the score 4-5 in the 90 minute of play. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Michel Björkkvist in the 95th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Sven-Ove Brandin saved Söderala FF from getting behind. Although Hägglunds IoFK had been in control for most of the match, Söderala FF still came away with the win.
