In the 7th minute Evert Öman shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Jan-Olof Ek saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Överlida's Hans Gruber proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 9th minute of the match, managed to save Överlida from getting a goal against them.
