The referee had no choice but to show him the red card. In a very dangerous position, a player in Pundish Af fell when an opponent tried to get the ball from him in the 2nd minute. Penalty! The goalkeeper, Ulf Rudberg, was totally fooled by Demons FC's Ludwig Åström, who 5 minutes into the game made a penalty shot that went in on the goalkeeper's left side. When Marko Forsell fell near the penalty area in the 8th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Pundish Af's protests and gave Marko Forsell a yellow card for diving instead.
