Spectators: 7455 (Terracing: 5592, Seating: 1714, VIP seats: 149) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Evert Öman started the match with the kick off. An unexpectedly hard shot by Evert Öman in the 12th minute of play forced Niles city's goalkeeper Manfred Frisck to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. 15 minutes into the match, Överlida's goal looked a bit too open when Kim Sjöberg came free, but Hans Gruber reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Hans Gruber showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Kim Sjöberg in the 17th minute of the match. Kim Sjöberg fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 20th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Hans Gruber having to interfere. With a couple of smart ball manuevers William Ekrot in the 22nd managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Hans Gruber saved Överlida from getting behind. With his leg Manfred Frisck managed to avoid a goal in the 27thth minute, when Överlida's Sven-Arne Helberg fired away a shot with a lot of spin towards his right hand side. In the 28thth minute of the game Evert Öman who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Niles city's Manfred Frisck was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball.

After some fancy dribbling in the 33rd minute, Kim Sjöberg managed to get in a good position for a shot. Niles city's supporters rose to their feet, but Kim Sjöberg was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Hans Gruber breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick.

Luck had favoured the away team in the first, and they walked off with a 0-2 lead.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. William Ekrot was the one to do the kick off.

Niles city's supporters crossed their fingers, but William Ekrot was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. If Evert Öman had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 68th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.
