After having played for 27 minutes, Pelle Flinck managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Jämjö IFK's supporters crossed their fingers, but Pelle Flinck was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Eduardo Fontirroig recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 31st minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal.

Mario Fernandino fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 43rd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Dan Bergstedt having to interfere.
