Spectators: 47 (Terracing: 36, Seating: 11, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Edmundo Espiga started the match with the kick off. Freddie Mellin made in the 3rd minute of the game a fairly good throw-in which was taken care of by Stefan Håkansson. 4 minutes into the game, Abdulkerim Bardakçı was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Billesholm's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Honduras the free kick. After a defensive mix-up in Billesholm's zone, Edmundo Espiga stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Axel Kinnman came out of the goal and Edmundo Espiga tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. In the 9th minute, Björn Hagberg hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Billesholm's Axel Kinnman played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Edmundo Espiga in the 12th minute of play. Sture Hellbom struck a weak shot in the 16th minute. Lautaro Navarro didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Billesholm. 18 minutes into the match, Sture Hellbom had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Lautaro Navarro. Honduras's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Sture Hellbom was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-1. A hard shot 25 in the game by Edmundo Espiga from a close distance when the talented Axel Kinnman managed to make a qualified save. Billesholm's players were relieved. Freddie Mellin made in the 26th minute of the game a sloppy throw-in which Sture Hellbom however managed to control. Ivan Navarro got a throw-in 28 minutes in the game and the ball was received by Sebastian Villa. When Sture Hellbom came up free with the goalie in the 30th minute, the Billesholm 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 Sture Hellbom couldn't finish the play. After 34 played minutes Honduras got a freekick which was hit by Moises Tafalla. Lautaro Navarro made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Sture Hellbom in the 38th minute of play. In the 41st minute, Sture Hellbom 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. A collision led to Honduras getting a freekick after 43 minutes play. Ivan Navarro hit a great ball. 45 minutes into the game, Freddie Mellin threw the ball into play from the sideline. Honduras's Luca Espinar quickly snatched the ball and retained possesion. Disappointed in the 0-2 score, the home team went to the dressing room to adjust tactics for the second half.

Axel Kinnman showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Edmundo Espiga in the 63rd minute of the match. Sture Hellbom's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Lautaro Navarro read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 66th minute of play. Billesholm's Lars Larsson was substituted for Eugeniusz Huchro. Lautaro Navarro made an important save on a dangerous shot by Knut Danielsson in the 73rd minute. Lautaro Navarro was a little too slow when Knut Danielsson got a fine hit on the ball which went right into the goal in the 76th minute. The score was now 0-4. Karl-Magnus Ferm sent away a hard shot on goal in the 79th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. If Edmundo Espiga had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 82nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Billesholm's Abdulkerim Bardakçı got his second yellow card of the match in the 83rd minute. The referee ordered Abdulkerim Bardakçı off the ground. In the 84th minute, Abdulkerim Bardakçı hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field.
