Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Konrad Vennerdal started the match with the kick off. Tord Tönnberg made a fantastic save in the 4th minute, when Konrad Vennerdal sent off a good shot on target. Konrad Duset charged in rather forcefully in the 7th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Konrad Duset the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. The supporters of Heberg RK booed when Linneryd IK was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 7 match minutes in a wonderful position. Konrad Duset didn't get a good kick on the ball. In the 13th minute, Konrad Vennerdal 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. Lucas Jernberg sent away a hard shot on goal in the 15th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. Markus Ödmann made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Martin Johansson in the 17th minute of play. 18 minutes into the match, Heberg RK's goal looked a bit too open when Leif Alrot came free, but Markus Ödmann reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.

Martin Johansson helped the player get up and apologised. Martin Johansson hit a great freekick 20 minutes into the match.

Konrad Vennerdal sent away a hard shot on goal in the 27th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. When Morgan Svanström fell near the penalty area in the 29th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Linneryd IK's protests and gave Morgan Svanström a yellow card for diving instead. Morgan Svanström kicked well hit freekick during the 30th minute of the match. Mathias Vestberg hit a great freekick 34 minutes into the match.

Markus Ödmann took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Martin Johansson, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side.

Alvin Bock helped the player get up and apologised. In the 44th minute, Alvin Bock hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. After 47 minutes of play Linneryd IK's Morgan Svanström was too eager in his attempt to stop his opponent and brought him down. With that he got his second yellow card and was ordered off the ground. Af the end of the first half the score was 1-0. The first half had gone as expected for the home team.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Martin Johansson to make the kick off. In the 59th minute Konrad Vennerdal shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Tord Tönnberg saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. A collision led to Linneryd IK getting a freekick after 63 minutes play. Leif Alrot hit a great ball. An unexpectedly hard shot by Lucas Jernberg in the 66th minute of play forced Linneryd IK's goalkeeper Tord Tönnberg to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Thanks to some nice foot action and superb ball handling Konrad Vennerdal in the 73rd minute a chance for a shot on goal. With an extended leg and a bit of luck Tord Tönnberg prevented the ball from getting in the gole. During the 81st minute of the match Martin Johansson completely mistimed his tackle and brought down his opponent. The referee gave Martin Johansson a yellow card, his second in the match, which meant he could no longer take part in the game. Martin Johansson kicked well hit freekick during the 82nd minute of the match. Tord Tönnberg showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Konrad Vennerdal in the 85th minute of the match. Konrad Vennerdal fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 87th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Tord Tönnberg having to interfere. Linneryd IK's Tord Tönnberg played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Konrad Vennerdal in the 91st minute of play. A sloppy throw-in by Tommy Söder in the 95th minute of the game went astray and was snapped up by Linneryd IK's Rutger Lindström. There were very few away supporters still in the ground by the end of the match. Most of them had left early, disgusted by the way their team had been torn apart. Heberg RK fully deserved thier win.
