Spectators: 40 (Terracing: 31, Seating: 9, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Tomas Illescas made the kick off which started today's match. In the 12th minute, Hugo Engström reached a very good position and smashed the ball with a huge effort into the net, just to the left of Jonathan Ferrant. The goal made the score 1-0. With a little luck, Venezuela's Jonathan Ferrant got control of the ball when Hugo Engström tried to sneak it across the goal line. When Jonathan Venegas fell near the penalty area in the 40th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Venezuela's protests and gave Jonathan Venegas a yellow card for diving instead. A collision led to Venezuela getting a freekick after 40 minutes play. Jonathan Venegas hit a great ball. Dick Näfver struck a weak shot in the 40th minute. Jonathan Ferrant didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Knipan IF. Hugo Engström who was well placed in front of the goal fired away a dangerous shot that in the 42ndth minute tested the skills of Jonathan Ferrant when he managed to save the team from getting behind. Af the end of the first half the score was 1-0. The first half had gone as expected for the home team.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Edgar Nordin made a kick off. When the match had gone on for 60 minutes, Patricio Costa took a quick shot and it went in 2-1 without a chance for Amadeu Pombal to make any attempt to save it. Gunnar Dalberg's late challenge caught a Venezuela's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Gunnar Dalberg helped the player get up and apologised. Olle Bröms fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 71st minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Jonathan Ferrant having to interfere. After a rather tough play, Knipan IF's Gunnar Dalberg got a free kick in the 75th minute. After 83 minutes, Edgar Nordin made it 3-1 with a short kick to the right side. Venezuela's Jonathan Ferrant tried to save the shot but he was too slow in reacting to the shot. The audience thought a goal was coming when Tomas Illescas got free with Amadeu Pombal in the 87th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. In the 88th minute Patricio Costa shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Amadeu Pombal saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. In the 92nd minute, Gunnar Dalberg hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. The audience was convinced that Tomas Illescas's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Amadeu Pombal was relentless in the 97th minute of the game. It was no surprise that this one had ended in a win for the home team. Knipan IF had played much better football throughout.
