Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Hans Vacker kicked off to start the match.

The Soccerfritt fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Kurt Igelström should have stopped the shot. Röda Stjärna's Joel Spets played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Hampus Alfors in the 7th minute of play. Alexander Brogren sent away a hard shot on goal in the 17th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. 19 minutes into the match, Hampus Alfors had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Joel Spets. Röda Stjärna's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Hampus Alfors was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 1-1. A throw-in in the 24th minute of the game was made by Patrik Siggman with Hubert Åkerman as target, who quickly passed the ball forward. Hans Vacker succeeded to score despite a near miss that spronge from right pole into the goal to 2-1 in the 29th playminute.

In the 47th match minute, Soccerfritt was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Edvard Nordström to maneuver through the defense. No-one was surprised that the home team were leading 2-1 at half-time.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Hampus Alfors to make the kick off. When the match had gone on for 55 minutes, Edvard Nordström took a quick shot and it went in 2-2 without a chance for Joel Spets to make any attempt to save it. After a defensive mix-up in Soccerfritt's zone, Hans Vacker stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Kurt Igelström came out of the goal and Hans Vacker tried to chip the ball over his head.
