After 45 minutes, William Enström mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Hortlax and the Åttesta BK players grew even worse after the yellow card. In a very dangerous position, a player in Hortlax fell when an opponent tried to get the ball from him in the 45th minute. Penalty! Henry Gerdberg shot the penalty kick by force right in the crossbar. No goal. After fighting hard for a draw in the first half, the players were able to take a much needed rest.

The supporters of Åttesta BK booed when Hortlax was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 72 match minutes in a wonderful position. Boris Bengtsson didn't get a good kick on the ball. Bolli Elin's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Aleksander Helander read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 73rd minute of play. Alex Alebeck kicked well hit freekick during the 74th minute of the match. When Herbert Håning came up free with the goalie in the 79th minute, the Hortlax 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 Herbert Håning couldn't finish the play. With a little luck, Hortlax's Aleksander Helander got control of the ball when Henry Gerdberg tried to sneak it across the goal line. Per-Olof Bryngelsson succeeded to score despite a near miss that spronge from right pole into the goal to 0-2 in the 86th playminute.
