Andy Öberg scored 1-0 in the 17th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Jens-Erik Ekrot, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot.

After some fancy dribbling in the 24th minute, Inge Nyström managed to get in a good position for a shot. Ljung Stars IF's supporters rose to their feet, but Inge Nyström was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Stefan Snell breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Petter Runberg might have been able to make a better finish in the 30th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Stefan Snell. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Petter Runberg ran back to his position shaking his head. When Charlie Ek came up free with the goalie in the 32nd minute, the Ljung Stars IF fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Charlie Ek couldn't finish the play. 38 minutes into the match, Glanshammar IF's goal looked a bit too open when Petter Runberg came free, but Stefan Snell reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.
